About this map

Plains serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, where a precise grid of residential streets like Ferrel Ave and Poplar Ave meets the surrounding agricultural expanse. The town is situated at a crossroads of state and local routes, including the curiously named Whiskey Rd and Poindexter Rd, which stretch across the high plains.

Evidence of the region's transport and natural drainage is clear, with the Yoakum County Airport positioned just north of the town center. The topography is largely defined by the meandering path of Sulphur Springs Draw, which cuts a wide, subtle valley through the southeast portion of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey captures the town's footprint as it supports the local ranching and farming economy of Yoakum County.
