2016 Map of Pakan

About this map

Kellerville and Pakan anchor this landscape in Wheeler County, where the high plains terrain is defined by seasonal drainage systems and small reservoirs. The area is marked by a network of county roads, such as Co RD 5 and Co RD X, that weave between intermittent water features like Little Hackberry Cr and N Long Dry Cr. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by Avent Reservoir in the northwest and smaller catchments like Machina Lake and Hrnciar Lake. These features imply a ranching or agricultural environment where controlling the flow of water is essential for sustaining the community and its livestock. The grid of roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 453 and FM 2473 provide a clear view of how this part of the Texas Panhandle is organized around these essential water sources.
