2022 Map of Kress West

About this map

The boundary between Swisher Co and Hale Co bisects this landscape of the Texas High Plains, where agricultural grids define the movement of local life. The small settlement of Kress occupies the northeast corner, positioned along a transportation corridor that includes FM 145 and several local streets such as Skipworth Ave and Dudley Ave. To the south, the community of Wright sits at the junction of FM 788 and Co Rd P, serving as a secondary node in this rural network. Genealogy researchers will find interest in the Kress Cem near the northern county line and the Running Water Cem located in the southwestern reaches of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, scattered depressions and a dense network of section-line roads like Sun Rd and Nix Rd that facilitate access to the surrounding farmsteads.
