About this map

Ackerly stands as the primary community on this High Plains landscape, uniquely positioned at the intersection of four Texas counties: Dawson, Martin, Howard, and Borden. The town's layout is clearly defined by its numbered streets and avenues, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. Evidence of the region's ranching economy is found at the Coleman Cattle Company Number 1 Airport, while the Fairhaven Cem provides a point of genealogical interest just south of the town center.

The terrain is dissected by several ephemeral watercourses, including Wolf Cr, Glen Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr, which drain the open country. A dense network of rural roads and state routes, such as Ranch Rd 1584 and Ranch Rd 2002, connects isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The survey meticulously records the various county road designations, illustrating the complex jurisdictional boundaries that meet in this specific corner of West Texas.
