2010 Map of Hartley SW

About this map

Rita Blanca Creek cuts a winding path through the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle in this 2010 survey of Hartley County. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of rural infrastructure, where long stretches of Fm 998 and Fm 2357 connect isolated ranching and agricultural tracts. This network of section roads provides a clear look at the modern land division in the region, centered around the local landmark of Hartley Cemetery, located along the aptly named Cemetery Rd. The topography is relatively flat, typical of the Llano Estacado, with subtle drainage patterns influencing the placement of the sparse road network. These features illustrate the enduring cattle-country character of the area, where water sources like the creek remain vital to the local geography even as paved roads have modernized the travel corridors between settlements.
