2016 Map of Aiken

About this map

Aiken and Cereal anchor this High Plains landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by a rigid grid of county roads and the diagonal passage of highway infrastructure. The boundary between Hale Co and Floyd Co bisects the region, which is marked by ephemeral water features like Duncan Lake and the winding Running Water Draw. The map illustrates the intensive land management of modern Texas farming, evidenced by specialized infrastructure such as the Farmer Turnrow. While the landscape appears open, the network of routes including Fm 2301 and Co Rd 140 connects these rural hubs to the broader region. This 2016 survey provides a precise record of the road systems and hydrography that sustain this West Texas community.
