About this map

Sulphur Springs Draw meanders through the eastern section of this Yoakum County landscape, providing a primary drainage feature in a region defined by its wide, flat expanses and agricultural grid. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of rural roads that often follow section lines, including 4 Mile Coliche Rd and Patton Rd. These pathways suggest a legacy of ranching and farming, connecting isolated homesteads and work sites to larger thoroughfares like FM 1622.

Local family and descriptive names are preserved in the road network, such as Johnnie Layton Rd and Chambliss Rd, while the curiously named Whiskey Rd runs along the northern boundary. This 2016 survey reflects the modern rural infrastructure of West Texas, where the intersection of traditional land use and contemporary transportation routes like Morrow Rd continues to shape the character of the Llano Estacado.
