About this map

Jayton serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, where the town's local landmarks like the High School and Jayton Cem are documented alongside the vital infrastructure of the Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington) railroad. The terrain is defined by a complex network of erosional features, most notably the deep incisions of Hot Springs Canyon and Cedar Canyon, which feed into the broader drainage of Croton Creek.

Evidence of the local economy and land use is visible through the presence of a Gravel Pit, an Airstrip, and water management features such as Coker Tank and Railroad Tank. The map also captures the geological character of the region at the Kent and Stonewall County line, including the expansive Salt Flat and the mineral-rich waters of Salt Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Texas panhandle region before late 20th-century developments altered the local rail and ranching patterns.
