2016 Map of Morton SW

About this map

Sulphur Draw meanders through the central landscape of this West Texas region, defining a subtle drainage pattern across the high plains of Cochran County. This 2016 survey reflects a landscape shaped by large-scale agricultural and ranching divisions, where a strictly rectangular grid of country roads facilitates movement between vast land parcels. The map depicts a network of thoroughfares including FM 769, Co RD 41, and Co RD 95, illustrating the persistent layout of rural infrastructure in the Llano Estacado. Small depressions and wetlands are scattered throughout the quadrangle, indicative of the playa lake systems characteristic of this semi-arid environment. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the sparse, land-intensive character of the local economy during this era.
