About this map

Agricultural development and rural settlements define this landscape along the Floyd Co Crosby Co line during the mid-1960s. The community of Cone serves as a local hub, featuring essential civic landmarks like the Cone Elem Sch and the nearby Cone Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous depressions and upland basins typical of the Llano Estacado, with drainage provided by the winding course of Crawfish Creek.

Smaller hamlets like Farmer and Mc Coy are positioned along the section-line road network, reflecting the grid-based land division of the High Plains. The abundance of numbered wells, such as Well 3167 and Well 3171, indicates a heavily utilized water table supporting the region's farms. This survey captures a moment when these small West Texas communities remained the focal points of rural life before further consolidation changed the local school and social landscape.
