2012 Map of Grow

About this map

Grow serves as the primary landmark in this ranching landscape of King County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the N Wichita River and its various tributaries. The map reveals a remote Texas environment structured by an extensive grid of county roads and state-maintained ranch-to-market routes. To the south, the Middle Fork Wichita River and drainage features like Buford Br and Farrer Cr indicate the watershed patterns that dictate land use in this part of the Rolling Plains. The layout of Ranch Road 1168 and Ranch Road 3416 highlights the essential transportation corridors connecting isolated homesteads and ranching operations to the wider region. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the contemporary rural infrastructure and natural drainage systems characteristic of north-central Texas.
