2010 Map of East Afton

About this map

East Afton and Croton anchor this corner of the Texas panhandle region, where the high plains begin to break into the drainage systems of the Brazos and Wichita basins. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways and livestock watering holes, including Duncan Tank and Wichita Tank, which reflect the ranching heritage of Dickens County. Deep erosional features like Beef Hollow and Washout Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the persistent force of water in this semi-arid environment. The drainage of Little Croton Creek and Boggy Creek in the southwest contrasts with the South Wichita River in the east. A rigid grid of farm-to-market roads, such as FM 193 and FM 265, and numerous numbered county roads provide the primary infrastructure for the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations that characterize the local geography.
