2012 Map of Kress West

About this map

Kress occupies the northeast corner of this West Texas landscape, where the grid of the town meets the expansive agricultural layouts of Swisher County. The map documents the intersection of rail-and-road transport, with residential streets like W 1st St and Dudley Ave giving way to the sprawling network of county roads that define the region's productive land. To the south and west, the smaller outposts of Farmers Spur and Wright are recorded along the transport corridors, reflecting the area's deep ties to grain and cattle logistics. Significant for local historians and genealogists, the Kress Cem is clearly marked at the edge of town, accessible by the appropriately named Old Cemetery Rd. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, seasonal water basins or playas dotting the fields between Ranch Road 145 and Ranch Road 788, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado.
