2019 Map of Hart SW

About this map

Running Water Draw and the North Fork Running Water Draw define the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape as it appeared in 2019. Straddling the boundary between Castro and Lamb counties, the terrain is characterized by a precise grid of county roads and isolated depressions typical of the Llano Estacado. The map illustrates a strictly agricultural and rural layout, where transportation is anchored by regional routes like Fm 168 and Fm 1842. These roads connect scattered farmsteads and facilitate the movement of goods across the panhandle. The presence of numerous unnamed wetlands and playa lakes indicates the importance of local hydrology in an area dominated by dryland and irrigated farming practices.
