2016 Map of Jayton North

About this map

Jayton anchors the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, positioned where the grid of residential streets like Van Buren Ave and Washington Ave meets the open ranchland of Kent County. The settlement pattern is defined by its proximity to water resources in an arid environment, notably Jayton City Lake and specialized livestock infrastructure like Coker Tank and Railroad Tank. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the Rolling Plains break into a network of drainage systems. Short Croton Creek and Little Duck Creek carve through the limestone and red bed soils, leading toward the expansive Salt Flat. This area is marked by significant topographic relief, including Hot Springs Canyon and Cedar Canyon, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of the Texas Panhandle. The map also records the Kent and Stonewall county line, serving as a vital reference for researchers tracing property boundaries and local history.
