2010 Map of Afton

About this map

Afton and the neighboring settlement of Glenn anchor this portion of the Texas Panhandle as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the Tongue River to the north and Cottonwood Creek to the south. Local water management is evident in the presence of Patton Springs-Lake Lucretia and Campbell Dam, which regulate the intermittent flow of desert streams. For genealogists and local historians, the Afton Cemetery provides a primary point of reference for families rooted in Dickens County. The terrain transitions from the headwaters at Roaring Spring and Seale Lake through a grid of county roads, such as Co RD 237 and Co RD 110, which connect the rural homesteads and agricultural plots of this high plains region.
