About this map

The agrarian plains of the High Plains are defined here by the boundary of Hale Co and Floyd Co, where the landscape is etched by seasonal drainage patterns and a strictly organized grid of county roads. The settlement of Petersburg occupies the southwestern corner, serving as a primary hub for this farming region. Further north, the smaller community of Barwise marks the intersection of FM 784 and Co RD 39, illustrating the typical West Texas pattern of widely spaced rural centers.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through the paths of Callahan Draw and Crawfish Draw, which carve gentle depressions across the otherwise level terrain. Cultural history is anchored by the Carrs Chapel Cem, a quiet landmark positioned along Co RD 288. The map also details the extensive reach of the Texas Farm to Market road system, including FM 37 and FM 54, which link isolated farmsteads to the regional markets.
