2016 Map of Nazareth

About this map

Nazareth serves as the central hub of this Castro County landscape, situated atop the High Plains at the intersection of FM 168 and Highway 86. The settlement is defined by its grid of local streets, including S St Marys St and N 1st St, and is anchored by the Holy Family Cem, which provides a vital touchstone for local genealogical research. The surrounding terrain is marked by the distinct depressions of the Llano Estacado, where ephemeral water bodies like Schwalker Lake and Cosby Lake collect seasonal runoff. To the north and east, the topography is carved by the winding course of Middle Tule Draw, which drains the agricultural tablelands. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment, dominated by a precise network of county roads that facilitate the region's ranching and farming operations.
