1998 Map of Jericho

About this map

Jericho sits as a quiet focal point in the Texas Panhandle, positioned just south of the Gray Co Donley Co Boundary. This area, updated in the late 1990s, reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of livestock grazing and the energy industry, with numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well scattered across the undulating terrain. The McClellan Creek National Grassland dominates the northeast, providing a conserved natural space along McClellan Creek. Local heritage is anchored by the Jericho Cem and Boydston Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the early settlement of these high plains. Water resources are clearly a priority in this semi-arid region, evidenced by the multiple labeled Wells and the course of Sandy Creek to the south.
