2022 Map of East Afton

About this map

East Afton and Croton anchor this corner of Dickens County, representing the small, dispersed settlements characteristic of the Texas Rolling Plains. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the headwaters of the S Wichita River and the meandering course of Washout Creek in the north. The area is intersected by several Farm-to-Market roads, such as FM 193 and FM 2470, which connect these rural outposts. Local topography is marked by distinctive landforms like Beef Hollow and seasonal water sources such as Boggy Creek and Little Croton Creek. The presence of Duncan Tank and Wichita Tank indicates the vital importance of managed water collection in this semi-arid ranching and farming environment, where the natural watercourses are often intermittent.
