2016 Map of Capps Switch

About this map

Capps Switch serves as a central point in this high plains landscape on the border of Moore and Sherman Counties. The terrain is defined by the deep, winding incision of N Palo Duro Cr, which cuts across the horizontal section lines that otherwise organize this agricultural region. This drainage system creates a complex network of topographical contours that stand in sharp contrast to the surrounding flat-topped mesas and farm roads. Local infrastructure is primarily defined by a rigid grid of rural routes, including Cemetery Rd, Hill Rd, and House Rd, illustrating the systematic land division typical of the Texas Panhandle. The boundary between Sherman and Moore Counties is clearly delineated, passing just north of the rail-and-road intersection at the map's namesake settlement.
