2012 Map of Albany

About this map

The Shackelford County Courthouse Historic District serves as the focal point for Albany, where the local street grid intersects with regional routes like FM 1084 and FM 601. This 2012 survey illustrates the settlement's relationship with its water resources and infrastructure, featuring the Albany Municipal Airport to the east and the significant expanse of McCarty Lake to the southwest. The terrain is defined by a series of winding waterways, including Cook Cr, Indian Cr, and the several branches of the Salt Prong Hubbard Cr. These creeks weave through a landscape marked by rural ranch roads and private drives, such as Newell Ranch Rd and Private Road 2310, reflecting the ranching heritage of the Texas Rolling Plains. The map details the transition from the structured town blocks near Central St to the sprawling hillsides and named estates on the periphery.
