2016 Map of Coburn

About this map

The boundary between Lipscomb Co and Hemphill Co bisects this high plains landscape, where the small settlement of Coburn sits along a primary regional highway. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Canyon Cr, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle amidst a network of rural routes including Co Rd 18 and Ranch Rd 2758. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern ranching and transit infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle, showing a sparse distribution of structures and the persistent importance of named creek beds in an otherwise arid region. Researchers can observe how local county roads and state ranch roads integrate with the larger transportation corridor that connects this remote borderland area.
