After reviewing multiple records, I believe the collector was making a trip from Electra to Harrold via Hwy 25 south, west on Hwy 1811, and north on Hwy 1763 into Harrold. Measurements don't always match up, but historical maps don't seem to indicate significant road changes since time of collection. Measured distance from Electra along route with uncertainty halfway to Beaver Creek.
In tall grass in draw; mesquite savanna; sandy loam.
