About this map

The settlement of Roy anchors the high plains of Castro County in this survey of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of agricultural roads, including Co Rd 621 and Co Rd 520, which carve the terrain into expansive tracts. Cutting diagonally across this geometric pattern is Highway 194, a primary transit artery connecting the smaller community of Roy toward the more developed area around Hart in the southeast.

Natural drainage is marked by the North Fork Running Water Draw, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This intermittent waterway provides a distinct contrast to the straight-line irrigation and transport network of the surrounding farmland. Near the corner of Co Rd 625, the Hart Cem stands as a localized landmark for genealogists and family historians documenting the residents of this rural agricultural district.
