2012 Map of Pakan

About this map

Pakan serves as a central point in this part of Wheeler County, situated at the junction of Ranch Road 453 and Co Rd W. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Texas Panhandle, with N Long Dry Cr winding through the southern section toward Machina Lake and Hrnciar Lake. To the north, Magic City stands near the edge of the survey, connected by a network of section-line roads like CoRd 5 and Co Rd 9. Local family names and early 20th-century history are preserved through features such as the Pakan Cem and Avent Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural economy dependent on water management, evidenced by the small reservoirs and the named creek beds like Little Hackberry Cr and Sand Cr that traverse the plains.
