2019 Map of Hancock

About this map

Hancock sits at the intersection of Ranch Rd 2411 and Ranch Rd 178 in this part of Dawson County, characterized by a transition from flat agricultural blocks to the deep, winding incisions of the Llano Estacado. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the dramatic topography of Rock Canyon and the branching drainages of Tobacco Cr and Wet Tobacco Cr. This drainage system creates a sharp contrast between the geometric grid of county roads like Co Rd 12 and the natural erosion patterns leading toward T J F Draw. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Benny White Flying Airport in the south, while the network of ranch-to-market roads and secondary routes like Co Rd 14 and Ranch Rd 826 illustrates the modern transport infrastructure supporting this West Texas landscape.
