2016 Map of Pool

About this map

Sulphur Draw cuts through the High Plains landscape of Terry County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural region near the settlement of Pool. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern grid of county and ranch roads that facilitate the local cotton and peanut farming economy, including Ranch Rd 195 and Farm Rd 211. The intermittent nature of the West Texas watershed is evident in the paths of Lost Draw and Sulphur Draw, which carve shallow depressions across the terrain rather than maintaining permanent surface flow. Researchers will find a highly organized rural infrastructure, where long-established property lines are mirrored by a network of numbered routes like Co Rd 250 and Ranch Rd 303, typical of the Llano Estacado's development in the early 21st century.
