2010 Map of Loco

About this map

Loco and New Loco center this rural landscape in Collingsworth County, where the plains are defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The map traces the winding course of Buck Creek as it moves across the territory, joined by smaller tributaries like Twin Mill Branch and Gypsum Creek. This topographic study reveals a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the Texas Panhandle, where life and travel are organized around a grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes. The presence of the Loco Cemetery east of Fm 1438 provides a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians documenting the families who established themselves in this cattle and farming country. The layout of Fm 1034 and other transit lines shows how these remote outposts remained connected to the larger region during the early 21st century.
