2016 Map of Clays Corner

About this map

The agricultural crossroads of Clays Corner defines this landscape in Parmer County, where a rigid grid of rural roads meets the subtle topography of the Texas Panhandle. The most prominent natural feature is Running Water Draw, an ephemeral drainage that winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, cutting across several sections of farmland. This drainage pattern provides a clear contrast to the geometric precision of the county road system, which follows the cardinal directions. Significant transport routes like Fm 145 and Co Rd 19 connect the scattered farmsteads and center at the corner itself. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and playas, typical of this region, which dot the landscape alongside the extensive network of local thoroughfares such as Co Rd 17 and Co Rd 24.
