2012 Map of Loop

About this map

Loop stands as the primary settlement on this West Texas landscape, positioned at a vital rural junction within Gaines County. The area is defined by a rigid, geometric grid of agricultural and ranch roads, reflecting the large-scale land management of the Llano Estacado. These thoroughfares, including Co Rd-670, Co Rd-132, and Co Rd-128, facilitate movement across an expanse dominated by cotton farming and oil interests. Historical transit patterns are visible via Old Hwy 62, while the intersection of modern routes like Ranch Road 303 anchor the community of Loop. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape where the infrastructure of the Permian Basin and the High Plains meets, showing the persistent layout of section lines and rural county roads that have guided local development for generations.
