2019 Map of Jericho

About this map

Jericho sits at the transition between the flat upland plains and the dissected drainage basins of the Texas Panhandle. This landscape is defined by the erosion of McClellan Creek and its tributaries, including Apple Orchard Cr and Big Sandy Creek, which carve deep draws through the terrain. In the northeast, the McClellan Creek National Grassland preserves a portion of this distinctive topography, where Turkey Roost overlooks the creek valley. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies key community landmarks such as Jericho Cem and Boydston Cem. The presence of Interstate 40 follows the traditional transport corridor across the Gray and Donley county line, bridging the gap between the modern highway system and the network of older routes like Co Rd B and Vernon Rd that once serviced the area's agricultural life.
