2019 Map of Ackerly

About this map

Ackerly sits at the unique junction of four West Texas counties — Dawson, Borden, Martin, and Howard — serving as a remote crossroads for local agriculture and cattle ranching. This high-plains landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Wolf Cr, Glen Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr, which carve subtle relief into the flat terrain. The map records the local grid of farm roads and ranch routes, such as Ranch Rd 1584 and FM 2212, that connect the isolated homesteads and pastures characteristic of the Llano Estacado. Evidence of the region’s specialized economy is clear with the presence of the Coleman Cattle Company Number 1 Airport, while local genealogy is grounded at the Fairhaven Cem south of the town center. The geometry of the county lines meeting precisely at the southern edge of the settlement provides a distinct boundary perspective for researchers of local land history.
