2012 Map of Parmerton

About this map

Parmerton sits at the center of this High Plains landscape in Parmer County, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural section lines and a prominent rail corridor. The settlement's proximity to the southwest-to-northeast transportation artery is underscored by the presence of Railroad Rd, which runs parallel to the tracks. The terrain is characterized by numerous seasonal depressions and playas typical of the Panhandle, with Catfish Draw providing the primary hydrographic relief in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A systematic network of county roads, including Co Road J and Co Road K, facilitates access across the vast ranching and farming tracts. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent importance of the railroad in shaping the development and orientation of small Panhandle communities like Parmerton.
