2016 Map of Gilliland

About this map

Gilliland sits in the northern reaches of this Knox County landscape, serving as a focal point for a network of farm-to-market and county roads that crisscross the plains. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Wichita River as it meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, creating a complex drainage pattern across the region. Steep breaks and elevation changes are most pronounced where Ilseng Cr cuts through the earth, revealing the rugged character of the Texas Rolling Plains. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern agricultural and ranching infrastructure of the area, including Put Ranch Rd and various routes like Fm 267n that connect this isolated community to the wider county. The map is a detailed record of the intersection between the natural hydrology of the Wichita watershed and the established rural homesteads of North Texas.
