2010 Map of Girard

About this map

Girard serves as the primary focal point in this portion of Kent County, situated in an area where the High Plains transition into the rolling breaks of the Brazos River basin. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of Duck Creek, including its West Prong and Dry Duck Creek tributaries. These seasonal watercourses carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of the rural road network and isolated agricultural infrastructure. Functional landmarks like North Whatley Windmill, South Whatley Windmill, and North Floyd Windmill highlight the essential role of groundwater management for ranching and farming in this semi-arid region. The map reveals a strict section-line grid of county roads, such as Co RD 179 and Co RD 118, which are occasionally interrupted by the more winding paths of FM 1228 and other state-maintained farm-to-market routes.
