2022 Map of Gilliland

About this map

Gilliland serves as a central point in this rural Knox County landscape, where the flat upland agricultural fields to the north give way to the more complex drainage systems of the South Wichita River. The transition from the orderly grid of county roads, such as Co RD 3691 and Co RD 3590, into the winding paths of the Ilseng Cr watershed reveals the natural topography that has influenced land use in this part of West Texas for generations. Genealogy researchers will find the Gilliland Cem east of the main settlement, a quiet landmark situated near the junction of Fm 1756 E and several local routes. The southern portion of the area is defined by the braided channels and varied elevations surrounding the river, contrasting with the ranching and farming tracts accessed via Put Ranch RD.
