Interstates typically connect to major population centers, in this case past Enid, there isn't another community above 20,000 all the way to Raton.
As for the New Mexico side, we traveled this route from Clayton to Raton this past year to get to Colorado, it's 4 lane divided, limited access most of the way, and much like the panhandle, lightly traveled.
