About this map

Palo Duro Cr cuts an east-west path across this section of Deaf Smith County, defining the primary relief in an otherwise flat agricultural landscape. The water management patterns of the modern High Plains are evident in the presence of the Harris and Thrush Reservoir and Grigsby Lake, which serve as vital catchments in this semi-arid region. The survey documents a rigorous section-line road grid, dominated by routes such as Fm 2587 and Fm 1412, which facilitate the movement of goods and equipment across the expansive plains. Local landmarks like Tierra Blanca Rd and Great Plains Dr reflect the geography and naming conventions of the Texas Panhandle. This record is particularly useful for tracking the evolution of rural property boundaries and water resource infrastructure in the early 21st century.
