About this map

Running Water Draw cuts through the northeast corner of this West Texas landscape, providing a rare topographical break in the otherwise strictly gridded agricultural plains of Parmer County. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment defined by a dense network of county roads, such as Co Rd 12 and Co Rd 14, which partition the land into precise squares. These corridors facilitate the movement of local transit and agricultural goods across the High Plains.

Strategic transportation routes like Fm 3333 and Fm 145 anchor the southern and central portions of the quadrangle. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the purely agricultural character of this region during this period, where human activity is reflected primarily through the maintenance of the roadway grid and the utilization of intermittent water features like the draw and scattered basins.
