2010 Map of Hylton

About this map

Hylton anchors this West Texas landscape, positioned near the southern edge of a terrain defined by extensive watershed management and ranching features. The drainage systems of North Fork Valley Creek, South Fork Valley Creek, and Cottonwood Creek are punctuated by a series of Soil Conservation Service reservoirs and dams, reflecting a concerted effort to manage water in the arid Nolan County environment. Landmark features such as High Lonesome Windmill, Wolf Draw, and Magness Draw characterize the open country between a network of county roads. Local history is preserved at the Hylton Cemetery and Campbell Cemetery, while the presence of the Flying W Airport northeast of the main settlement points to the integration of aviation into this rural expanse. The road system, including FM 1170 and numerous numbered county routes like Co RD 310, connects these dispersed homesteads and landmarks across the prairie.
