2016 Map of Center Plains School

About this map

Center Plains School serves as a lone community focal point in this 2016 survey of the Texas Panhandle’s agricultural heartland. Situated along the boundary where Castro Co meets Swisher Co, the landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section roads like Co RD S and Co RD 7, which facilitate the massive scale of regional farming. The most significant natural break in the geometric terrain is South Tule Draw, which winds across the northern portion of the quadrangle. Aside from the primary corridors of Fm 1424 and Ranch Rd 928, the map reveals a high concentration of playa lakes and depressions scattered across the high plains. These intermittent water features emphasize the local dependence on seasonal hydrology in an otherwise semi-arid environment dominated by rural land tracts.
