2016 Map of Hilburn

About this map

Hilburn sits at the intersection of local history and the expansive agricultural landscape of the Texas Panhandle. This region is defined by the ephemeral courses of Running Water Draw and its North Fork, which carve subtle topographic variations across the high plains. The landscape is organized by a rigid grid of county roads, such as Co RD 525 and Co RD 627, reflecting the systematic land division essential to the area's ranching and farming heritage. Aviation interests are represented by the Hart Aerial Airport, a facility that supports the aerial needs of the local agricultural community. Spanning the borders of Castro, Lamb, and Hale counties, the map captures a contemporary look at the rural infrastructure, including state-maintained routes like FM 2881 and FM 2284 that connect these isolated settlements to the broader region.
