2022 Map of Capps Switch

About this map

N Palo Duro Cr carves a deep, winding path across this Panhandle landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of the High Plains suddenly drop into an intricate network of breaks and canyons. The Sherman Co and Moore Co line bisects the territory, which is defined by a rigid grid of rural thoroughfares such as FM 281 and Keith Rd. At the eastern edge, the small community of Capps Switch remains a focal point for the surrounding ranching and farming operations, positioned near the intersection of FM 1060 and Cemetery Rd. The map illustrates a classic High Plains settlement pattern where modern infrastructure, like the varied Farm to Market roads, overlays a terrain dominated by the erosive forces of the creek system. This balance between the orderly county road system and the chaotic topography of the creek breaks provides a clear picture of how land use is dictated by the local geology.
