2010 Map of Cactus East

About this map

Cactus and the surrounding industrial and agricultural lands of Moore County are defined by a strict grid of section roads and water management features. The landscape is bisected by North Palo Duro Creek, which is interrupted by localized engineering including Petty Dam and the E M Gossett Dam. These structures create essential water bodies like Petty Lake in an otherwise arid region. The map reveals the layout of small rail-side settlements and industrial hubs such as Etter, Bryden, and Sheerin Junction, which are interconnected by state roads like FM 281. The presence of Nitrate RD and High Pockets RD suggests the proximity of chemical or agricultural processing facilities, common to this part of the Texas Panhandle. This survey provides a clear view of the infrastructure supporting the local economy during the first decade of the 21st century.
