2019 Map of Ford

About this map

Palo Duro Cr meanders across this High Plains landscape in Deaf Smith County, carving a subtle drainage through an otherwise expansive grid of agricultural and ranch lands. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and playas, including Grigsby Lake, which serve as critical water catchment features in this semi-arid region. The human imprint on the land is defined by a strictly organized network of section roads, such as Co RD 25 and Co RD HH, that facilitate movement between the scattered ranching operations and larger thoroughfares like Tierra Blanca Rd. This 2019 survey documents the enduring pastoral character of the Texas Panhandle, where the intersection of Farm to Market roads like FM 2587 and FM 1412 supports the local agricultural economy and connectivity between rural properties.
