2019 Map of Childress

About this map

Childress serves as the focal point of this Panhandle landscape, where the town's grid is defined by numbered avenues and streets that transition into a network of farm-to-market and county roads. The terrain is characterized by a complex drainage system, with the headwaters and branches of N Groesbeck Cr and Conkline Cr carving through the plains. Local water management is evident in features like Lake Scott and Park Lake, which sit on the periphery of the primary settlement. The map reveals how the modern transportation corridors of Ranch Rd 2184 and various county roads, such as Co RD 16, trace the historic agricultural divides of Childress County. This 2019 survey documents the intersection of rural life and hydrological features like Scatterbranch Cr and Whites Cr, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of this North Texas community.
