2010 Map of Abernathy

About this map

Abernathy serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape, situated at a major transportation junction where the grid of rural roads meets the primary north-south corridor. The town layout is clearly defined against the surrounding agricultural expanses, which are segmented by a strictly geometric network of routes like Co Rd 325 and Fm 2060. To the northeast, the Abernathy Municipal Airport and the Strip Cemetery provide essential community infrastructure and historical markers. In the southwestern corner, the Cravens Oil Field indicates the importance of mineral extraction to the local economy, while Blackwater Draw cuts a subtle diagonal through the otherwise uniform section lines. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the interplay between industrial development, rural homesteads, and the enduring infrastructure of Hale County.
