2010 Map of Hansford

About this map

Palo Duro Creek winds through the northern Texas Panhandle, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching and energy extraction in the early 21st century. The settlement of Hansford sits near the creek's upper reaches, accompanied by the Hansford Cemetery, which provides a vital link for those researching local family histories and early High Plains burials. The region's economic drivers are clearly marked by the Hansford Gas and Oil Field, which occupies a significant portion of the central terrain between F.M. 2018 and the southern reaches of the quadrangle. To the south, the community of McKibben serves as another focal point for residential and agricultural activity. The map reveals a strict grid of rural infrastructure, including Co RD 16 and Co RD 20, which facilitate movement between the drainages of Horse Creek and the surrounding rangeland.
