About this map

Gaylord and the surrounding high plains of Lipscomb County are defined by a network of ephemeral creeks and deeply cut terrain. The landscape is marked by the N Fork Kiowa Cr and Kiowa Cr, which drain the region alongside smaller tributaries like Plummer Cr and Coyote Cr. A prominent landmark, Bean Pott Cliff, stands over the drainage basin in the north.

Evidence of rural settlement and local infrastructure is visible through the placement of the View Point Cem and the Loesch Ranch Airport. Transportation in the area relies on a grid of county roads and the historic alignment of the Old Darrouzett Hwy, which cuts across the central portion of the map. The label Timmcity in the southeast suggests a localized point of interest or former site along the drainage of the Kiowa. This survey provides a clear look at the agricultural and ranching layout of the Texas Panhandle during the mid-2010s.
