2016 Map of Holt

About this map

Holt Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this High Plains landscape, situated just south of the boundary line between Hansford Co and Hutchinson Co. The terrain is characterized by the expansive tabletop flats typical of the Texas Panhandle, interrupted only by the sudden, deep incision of Johns Creek in the southeastern corner. This drainage, also labeled Johns Cr, reveals the complex canyon systems that carve into the Caprock, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid. A network of ranch roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 281 and FM 760, dictates the movement across the territory, connecting isolated homesteads and livestock operations to the larger region. The map reflects a modern era of rural life where petroleum development and large-scale ranching coexist within a meticulously surveyed section-line framework.
