About this map

South Tule Draw meanders across this high plains landscape in Swisher County, where a system of engineered water management features defines the rural economy. Small basins and catchments like the Tulia Feedlot Reservoir, Roy Stockett Reservoir, and H T Copeland Reservoir are scattered throughout the territory, supporting agricultural operations in this semi-arid region of the Texas Panhandle. A significant genealogical landmark, the Wright Cem, sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle near the intersection of several county roads.

The map reveals a rigid, grid-like transportation network of local roads such as Co RD 18 and Co RD 20 that facilitate movement between vast tracts of farmland. Regional connectivity is maintained by Fm 928 and the junction of Fm 145 with Ranch Rd 145 at the southern boundary. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure of the region, emphasizing the importance of localized water storage and a highly organized road system in a landscape of wide horizons.
