About this map

The agricultural plains of Deaf Smith County unfold around the southeastern reaches of Hereford, where a grid of rural roads and watercourses defines the landscape. The Tierra Blanca Cr meanders across the center of the map, a vital drainage feature for the High Plains, while Frio Draw cuts through the southwestern corner. These ephemeral water systems are anchored by Leroy Johnson Lake in the northeast, providing a rare surface water landmark in this semi-arid region.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated in the north, centered on the Hereford Municipal Airport and the settlement of Joel. A dense network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, including FM 1259 and FM 2943, supports the regional ranching and farming economy. The map illustrates the transition from the concentrated residential blocks of southeast Hereford to the expansive sections of land that characterize this portion of the Texas Panhandle.
