2016 Map of Kirkland North

About this map

Kirkland serves as the primary focal point of this Childress County landscape, situated where the grid of rural farm roads meets the more modern infrastructure of the 21st century. The map illustrates a transitional terrain defined by the winding course of N Groesbeck Cr and the localized catchment of Nippert Lake. This area of north Texas maintains a sparse, agrarian character, with significant land use organized around an extensive network of county roads like Co RD S and Co RD 25. For genealogists and local researchers, the Kirkland Cem provides a tangible link to the community's heritage, located south of the main settlement. The presence of state-maintained routes such as FM 1033 and FM 268 underscores the continued importance of regional connectivity for the isolated homesteads and ranching operations that dot this high plains environment.
