Kelton stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Wheeler County, situated at the intersection of FM 2697 and FM 592. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Sweetwater Cr, which is fed by several tributaries including Murtaugh Cr, Williams Cr, and Salt Cr. These water sources historically anchored the ranching and agricultural operations of the Texas Panhandle. The map reveals the local social geography through long-standing landmarks such as Wheeler Springs and essential community burial grounds like Kelton Cem and Rock Cem. Transportation is dominated by a grid of county roads and regional routes like E Oklahoma Ave, reflecting the systematic land division of the area. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that have sustained this high plains community for generations.
