2016 Map of Hancock

About this map

Hancock sits at the intersection of a sprawling rural road network in this high-plains landscape of Dawson County. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of Rock Canyon and T J F Draw, which cut through the level ranchlands to the northeast. These geographic features, along with the intermittent courses of Tobacco Cr and Wet Tobacco Cr, reveal the drainage patterns typical of the Texas Panhandle region. The map reflects a modern rural economy where traditional ranching infrastructure meets aviation, most notably at the Benny White Flying Airport. A grid of county roads and ranch-to-market routes, including Ranch Rd 2411 and Ranch Rd 178, provides the primary framework for the scattered settlements and agricultural operations in the area.
