2012 Map of Hale Center SW

About this map

Mayfield and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Hale County are captured in this 2012 study, revealing the geometric precision of the Texas Panhandle's rural infrastructure. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of county roads, such as Co Road J and Co Road L, which facilitate the region's vast farming operations. A significant landmark for local history researchers is the Center Plains Cem, situated along Co Rd-185. The transportation network relies on a system of farm-to-market roads, including FM-1914 and Ranch Road 179, which connect isolated homesteads to the larger regional hubs. The presence of numerous small, scattered depressions across the terrain suggests the characteristic playa lakes of the Llano Estacado, which are vital features for the local hydrology and seasonal ecosystems.
