2010 Map of McAdoo

About this map

McAdoo sits atop the high plains of Dickens County, serving as a focal point for a vast network of rural routes including FM 193 and FM 264. The settlement pattern here is defined by a rigid grid of ranch and county roads that intersect at the small community of Broadway. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape primarily dedicated to agriculture, where the flat upland terrain is occasionally broken by the drainage systems of Gannon Creek, Grape Creek, and Dockum Creek. These watercourses flow toward the south and east, cutting through the caprock and transitioning from the level plains to the more varied topography of the canyon breaks. Local history is anchored at the McAdoo Cemetery, a significant landmark for genealogists researching the families who established this high-plains ranching community.
