About this map

The high plains of the Texas Panhandle in Hartley County are defined by a sparse but deliberate network of ranch roads and section lines. This 2019 survey captures the vast grazing lands surrounding the intersection of Fm 807 and Fm 3422, where the landscape is etched with the names of local residents and agricultural legacy. Named routes such as Cole Ln, Artz Ln, and Fords Rd provide essential access points for land management and cattle operations, following the characteristic rectangular survey pattern of the region.

The terrain is marked by ephemeral depressions and wetlands that dot the otherwise level topography. The presence of Rafter J Rd in the southwest corner suggests a deep connection to specific ranching brands or family holdings that have shaped the local economy. For those tracing the evolution of Northwest Texas land use, the map serves as a precise record of late-20th-century infrastructure and rural property division.
