2010 Map of Parmerton

About this map

Parmerton sits at the intersection of a major diagonal railway and a strictly organized section-line road grid in this 2010 survey of Parmer County. This landscape is defined by the ephemeral hydrology of the Llano Estacado, where the subtle depressions of Frio Draw, Catfish Draw, and Running Water Draw snake across the high plains. Unlike the rigid geometry of the county roads such as Co Rd J and Co Rd N, these natural draws follow the ancient, meandering drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals the immense scale of West Texas agricultural division, where names like Garza Rd and numerous numbered county routes provide the only landmarks across a territory shaped by ranching and industrial-scale farming. The concentration of structures remains sparse, centered primarily around the rail line and key crossroads.
