About this map

Agricultural operations and expansive ranchlands define this portion of Castro County in the early 21st century. The Dimmitt Feed Yard stands as a focal point of the local cattle industry, situated amidst a geometric grid of rural transport routes. The landscape is characterized by numerous seasonal depressions and playas, which dot the high plains between the organized corridors of Ranch Road 2392 and FM-1055.

This survey captures the region's reliance on a precise network of county roads, such as Co Rd-617 and Co Rd-505, which facilitate the movement of livestock and grain across the Panhandle. The layout of these roads reflects the systematic section-line surveying that has governed West Texas land use for over a century, providing clear documentation for researchers tracing property boundaries or agricultural history.
