2012 Map of Kirkland North

About this map

Kirkland stands as the primary settlement on this Childress County landscape, with its residential streets like Pennsylvania Ave and Main St providing a structured footprint in an otherwise wide-open agricultural region. The local history of the community is anchored by the Kirkland Cem, located just east of the town center. The surrounding terrain is defined by the wandering path of N Groesbeck Cr, which cuts through the southern half of the map, and the isolated waters of Nippert Lake to the west. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic Panhandle rural grid, where an extensive network of county roads, including Co Road U and Co Road Y, connects disparate farmsteads to thoroughfares such as FM-268 and Ranch Road 1033. The geography reflects a late twentieth-century persistence of small-town Texas life centered on land and lineage.
