2019 Map of Kress East

About this map

The agricultural High Plains of the Texas Panhandle define this landscape, where the town of Kress and the smaller settlement of Finney anchor a geometric grid of rural roads and farmsteads. Located on the Swisher County and Hale County line, the area is characterized by vast irrigation and drainage patterns typical of the region's industrial-scale farming. In the northern section, Kress shows a developed street plan including E Main St, Nicholson Ave, and Caldwell Ave. The terrain is generally flat, marked by ephemeral water bodies and the subtle drainage of Rock Draw to the northeast. Beyond the settlements, the map documents a dense network of county and farm-to-market roads, such as Way Rd, Well Rd, and the uniquely named Xray Rd, which facilitate the movement of goods across this productive corner of the Llano Estacado.
