2016 Map of Cotton Center

About this map

Cotton Center anchors this agricultural landscape in the Texas Panhandle, situated at the junction of FM 37 and FM 179. The terrain is characterized by a precise grid of county roads, including Co RD H and Co RD I, which partition the high plains into large-scale farming tracts. This 2016 survey reflects a modern era of land management where the geometric regularity of the road network is interrupted only by the natural depression of Blackwater Draw in the southwestern corner. Dozens of small, isolated depressions across the quadrangle indicate the presence of ephemeral playa lakes, a defining characteristic of this region's hydrology. The map provides a clear record of the transportation infrastructure supporting the local cotton economy, tracing routes like FM 54 and Nix Rd that connect rural homesteads to the central settlement.
