Other nearby geographic points

The northwest corner of the Texas panhandle is located 2.2 miles west of this point, although it should theoretically be at the same spot. The great distance is due to surveying errors in 1859 by the surveyor John H. Clark. The joint congressional resolution in 1911 declared the line surveyed by Clark to be the actual boundary line between Texas and New Mexico. The northwest corner of the Texas panhandle had been previously marked but the marker was either removed or buried when the highway was widened in 2016. The marker for the Cimarron Meridian initial point is located approximately 350 feet north of the Texhomex corner, and is marked by a concrete pillar and a sign."Cimarron Principal Meridian (Clayton, NM)"
