About this map

The town of Panhandle serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, revealing a high-plains landscape defined by its grid of county roads and ranching infrastructure. As the seat of Carson County, the community shows a dense street network including Main St and Panther Ave, while Stamps Field Airport sits to the southwest. The terrain is characterized by numerous depressions and intermittent water bodies, most notably Pantex Lake in the northwest corner and the headwaters of McClellan Cr to the east.

Agricultural and rural settlements like Lee and the intriguing marker for Bois D'Arc Tree illustrate the localized landmarks used by residents. Transport is dominated by the diagonal corridor of US Highway 60 and a series of rural routes such as Ranch Road 293 and FM 1342. This map provides a detailed look at the interface between the organized town limits and the surrounding ranch lands at the start of the 2010s.
