2010 Map of Merrick

About this map

Merrick stands as a focal point in this portion of Martin County, representing the scattered settlement patterns typical of the Texas High Plains in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by an extensive grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including Farm Rd 2202-E and Farm Rd 26-N, which navigate the vast, open reaches of the Llano Estacado. Hydrological features are sparse but significant, centered on the winding path of Sulphur Springs Draw that cuts across the terrain. The presence of Dry Wells in the northeastern quadrant suggests the historical and ongoing challenges of water management and resource extraction in this arid environment. This survey captures a moment of transition where traditional ranching and farming infrastructure exists alongside more modern industrial markers, illustrated by the precise network of roads such as Co Rd 4400 and Co Rd 3800 that divide the land into large, functional blocks.
