2012 Map of Kelton NW

About this map

Wheeler Municipal Airport sits at the center of this high plains landscape in Wheeler County, serving as a modern landmark in a region defined by its seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is intricately etched by numerous waterways, most notably the winding course of Sweetwater Cr which traverses the northern half of the map. Smaller tributaries such as Silver Cr, Goodin Cr, and Coburn Cr feed into this system, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Texas Panhandle. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural infrastructure, where routes like Co Road J and Co RD-17 provide access to remote ranching and agricultural lands. To the south, the headwaters of E Br Bronco Cr emerge, showing how these intermittent streams shape the local topography. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of traditional land use and essential regional aviation, as seen with the proximity of FM-2697 and Ranch Road 1906 to the expansive airport grounds.
