2019 Map of Bootleg

About this map

Tierra Blanca Cr winds through the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape, defining the primary drainage for this portion of Deaf Smith County. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of ranch roads and sections of open country typical of the Texas Panhandle's cattle and farming operations. Central to the area is the intersection of Ranch Rd 1412 and Ranch Rd 1058, which provide the main transit corridors across the high flats. Smaller thoroughfares such as Co Rd 4 and Co Rd R segment the land into large industrial or agricultural blocks, while several small, unnamed depressions and wetlands dot the northern and central sections, indicative of the ephemeral playas found throughout this region. The map reflects a modern era of land management where traditional rural county roads like Co Rd Q maintain the grid of the Panhandle ranching tradition.
