About this map

Groom serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, where the town layout is oriented toward the major highway corridor that bisects the region. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from organized town streets to a sprawling network of ranch and farm roads, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and ranching heritage of Carson County. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage basins of several watercourses, most notably McClellan Creek, which winds northward through the central portion of the map.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Saint Mary Cemetery particularly significant for documenting early area residents. Beyond the main settlement of Groom, the smaller community of Boydston marks the eastern edge of the survey. The naming of local routes like Hay Barn Rd, Treerow Rd, and Airport Rd provides a literal description of the land use and essential infrastructure during this era of Texas Panhandle history.
