About this map

Cotton Center serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in the High Plains of Texas. The settlement, which includes a local Po, is situated at the intersection of Fm 179 and Fm 37. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense grid of rural roads, including Nix Rd and numerous county routes such as Co RD 235, reflecting a systematic land division common in Hale County.

Blackwater Draw cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, representing a significant ephemeral drainage feature of the Llano Estacado. The map reveals the persistence of playa lakes or depressions scattered throughout the farmland, emphasizing the importance of local hydrology and the Fm 54 corridor in the region's transport network. This 2019 survey provides a clear look at the modern rural layout before recent shifts in industrial agriculture or infrastructure development.
