2022 Map of Gomez

About this map

Gomez and the surrounding Terry County landscape are defined by a high-plains topography where agriculture and a grid of rural roads predominate. In this region of West Texas, the ephemeral drainage of Lost Draw meanders across the northern portion of the sheet, providing a rare natural break in the otherwise steady elevation. The small settlement of Johnson sits along the northern edge, connected to the larger region by a network of ranch-to-market roads and the primary east-west corridor of US Hwy 380. The layout of the roads, including FM 402 and numerous county lines like Co Rd 410, reflects the systematic land partitioning common in this part of the Llano Estacado. Researchers of family history in this area will find the specific intersections and ranch roads, such as Ranch Rd 3262, useful for identifying original homesteads and field boundaries that have persisted into the twenty-first century.
