About this map

The Hansford Gas and Oil Field defines the industrial character of this High Plains landscape, where petroleum extraction exists alongside remote agricultural settlements. Located in Hansford County, the area is centered around Hansford, a small hub marked by the Hansford Cem and a network of rural routes including Farm-To-Market Road Road 2018. The terrain is etched by the drainage of Horse Cr, which cuts through the flat plains in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Further south, the small community of McKibben sits at the junction of Co RD-16 and Co Road Z. This 2012 survey illustrates the typical Texas Panhandle pattern of straight-line county roads and ranch-to-market infrastructure that supports both the energy sector and cattle ranching operations. The infrastructure is sparse but highly functional, designed to connect isolated homesteads and drilling sites across the expansive grasslands.
