About this map

Wheeler Municipal Airport sits at the center of this Texas Panhandle landscape, where the high plains begin to break into the drainage systems of the eastern Wheeler County ranchlands. The terrain is defined by several seasonal watercourses including Sweetwater Cr, which meanders across the northern portion of the sheet, and the smaller tributaries of Silver Cr and Goodin Cr. The southern drainage is captured by the headwaters of E Br Bronco Cr.

A network of gravel and section-line roads, such as Co RD 17 and Co RD 18, reveals a pattern of rural land management and agricultural heritage typical of the region. The straight horizontal line of E Oklahoma Ave bisects the map, serving as a primary corridor through this open country. This 2016 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of Wheeler County's rural infrastructure and its relationship to the natural creek valleys.
