About this map

Mobeetie and New Mobeetie are the primary settlements shown here, representing the enduring heart of Wheeler County in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Sweetwater Cr, Gageby Cr, and Adobe Cr, which are supplemented by several modern water management features including Soil Conservation Service Site 17 Reservoir. These reservoirs point to the essential role of water conservation in the Texas Panhandle's agricultural environment.

Local history is anchored by the Mobeetie Cem and Mt Zion Cem, alongside notable landmarks like Fort Elliot Springs. The map illustrates a rural grid of county roads and ranching sites like Carwile Ranch, while natural elevations such as Lime Hill and Bankhead Mound break the horizon. The transition between the original townsite and the newer settlement reflects the shifting geographic center of this historic community over time.
