2010 Map of Jayton South

About this map

Jayton anchors the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands of Kent County. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is visible through the layout of Kent County Airport and the network of rural routes such as FM 1083 and Co RD 142 that connect local properties. To the south, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork Brazos River, which is joined by smaller seasonal drainages including Salt Creek and the curiously named A B C Creek. Water management is a critical local feature, evidenced by the Jayton City Lake and the City Jayton Lake Dam just west of the town center. This survey captures a moment when traditional land use patterns intersect with regional aviation at Norris Field, reflecting the vast distances and specialized needs of this Texas Panhandle region.
