2016 Map of China Grove

About this map

China Grove sits near the heart of this West Texas landscape, where the rolling plains of Scurry County meet the northern edge of Mitchell County. The area is defined by a dendritic drainage network, with Little Sulphur Cr and Sulphur Cr carving gentle valleys through the terrain. To the northeast, the settlement of Hermleigh appears near the junction of several county roads and FM 644, serving as a local hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. The map reveals a highly structured grid of rural infrastructure, including E FM 1606 and dozens of numbered county roads that provide access to the remote draws and creek beds like Wildcat Draw and Dry Run. This network of roads and waterways illustrates the late 20th-century land use patterns in this part of the Permian Basin region, showing how the landscape is divided between natural watercourses and human-engineered boundaries.
