2016 Map of Kress West

About this map

Kress sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in the Texas Panhandle, where the boundary between Swisher Co and Hale Co cuts across a grid of section roads. The map reveals a high-plains environment dominated by playa lakes and a sprawling network of farm-to-market and county routes, including Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 20. In the northeast, the outskirts of town are marked by Dudley Ave and Kress Cem. To the south, the settlement of Wright appears along the intersection of FM 788 and Co Rd P, while the Running Water Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The regular spacing of roads like Co Rd BB and Co Rd DD reflects the systematic land division essential to the region's large-scale farming operations.
