2012 Map of Lautz

About this map

Lautz sits at the intersection of local routes in this corner of Sherman County, where the landscape is defined by the regular grid of agricultural land and the drainage towards Elephant Lake. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching and farming district, where large-scale operations are linked by an extensive network of county roads like Co Road U and Co Road Y. A significant genealogical landmark, the Whaley Cem, is situated in the southwestern quadrant, providing a fixed point for family history researchers in an area otherwise characterized by broad open tracts. The alignment of Farm Rd 1573 and the presence of specialized routes like Ranch Road 2014 reflect the infrastructure required to support the High Plains economy. This survey captures the rural character of the Texas Panhandle, showing the sparse but vital connections between remote homesteads and larger regional thoroughfares.
