About this map

Aiken sits as a primary junction in this Floyd County agricultural landscape, defined by a rigid grid of county roads and vital transportation corridors. The regional economy is anchored by agricultural infrastructure, notably the East Mound Cotton Gin, which serves the surrounding cotton fields. To the north and west, smaller named locales such as Cereal and Lider dot the expansive plains, illustrating the distributed nature of Texas Panhandle settlement.

Hydrological features are sparse in this high plains environment, with Duncan Lake providing a rare named water body amidst the network of ranch roads and farm-to-market routes. The map detail highlights the transition of local routes, such as Ranch Road 2286 and FM-2286, which facilitate the movement of goods from the gins to larger trade centers. This 2012 survey captures the enduring layout of the region's agricultural industry and rural homesteads.
