Eastern New Mexico History
The Eastern New Mexico region (termed the "High Plains" or "Little Texas") typically covers the same general area as the Llano Estacado, a region that encompasses parts of eastern New Mexico and northwestern Texas. Most of the area is located at altitudes of more than 4,000 feet and is fairly level terrain. It is largely agricultural and resembles West Texas in geography, culture, economy, and demographics. Its primary cities include Clovis, Portales, and Tucumcari.
