2012 Map of Bautista

About this map

Bautista sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural grid in the Texas Panhandle, where Moore County’s high plains meet the headwaters of the Canadian River watershed. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape defined by industrial-scale farming and the seasonal hydrology of the region. Natural drainages like Big Blue Creek and Little Blue Creek cut through the geometric road network, providing crucial drainage across the flat plateau. The reliance on a systematic road layout is evident in the naming conventions of Middlewell Rd, Road W, and W Road X, which facilitate the transport of cattle and crops through this sparse settlement area. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of modern infrastructure, such as Co Hwy 2202, with the ancient, winding creek beds that remain the dominant natural features of the terrain.
