2022 Map of Hilburn

About this map

Hilburn sits at the northern end of this Panhandle landscape, where the agricultural plains are defined by a meticulous grid of county roads and the winding paths of intermittent waterways. The topography is shaped by the North Fork Running Water Draw and Running Water Draw, which carve subtle depressions through the surrounding farmland. This area serves as a meeting point for three counties, with the boundaries of Castro, Lamb, and Hale counties intersecting in the southern half of the map. Central to the local transport and aviation infrastructure is the Hart Aerial Airport, reflecting the region's reliance on aerial application for its vast agricultural operations. The map details a network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 168 and FM 2881, which connect the isolated farmsteads and rural infrastructure that characterize this portion of the Texas High Plains.
