2019 Map of Pakan

About this map

Pakan and Kellerville anchor this Wheeler County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal drainage creeks and scattered catchments. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of Little Hackberry Cr and N Long Dry Cr, illustrating the water management patterns essential to this part of the Texas Panhandle. Significant local water features including Avent Reservoir, Machina Lake, and Henelar Lake provide clear markers for land navigation and historical property boundaries. The map traces a grid of rural connectivity through numerous county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 453 and FM 2473, which link the isolated settlements across the undulating topography. This survey highlights the spatial relationship between sparse residential clusters and the natural creek beds like Sand Cr that shaped the region's ranching and agricultural development.
