2012 Map of Ford

About this map

The High Plains of Deaf Smith County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the intermittent waters of Palo Duro Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the Texas Panhandle, centered on the community of Ford. The landscape is largely structured by large ranching interests and agricultural tracts, with the Conkwright Ranch positioned in the eastern reaches. Hydrological features like Grigsby Lake dot the flat terrain, providing essential water sources in an otherwise semi-arid environment. Transportation across these vast stretches relies on a network of designated routes, including Tierra Blanca Rd, Ranch Road 2587, and Fm 1412. The map provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, where named roads like Great Plains Dr reflect the geographic identity of this open country.
