2022 Map of Punkin Center

About this map

Punkin Center and Mungerville anchor this high-plains landscape in Dawson County, where a rigid grid of ranch and county roads defines the West Texas terrain. The map captures a rural environment structured around agriculture and cattle, with extensive routes like Ranch Rd 1066 and Ranch Rd 829 providing the primary transit network. In the northeast, Fairview Cem serves as a localized point of historical and genealogical interest, marking the endurance of early community footprints. The natural drainage of Sulphur Springs Draw cuts a subtle, meandering path across the southeast, contrasting with the straight-line geometry of the local property boundaries and thoroughfares. This layout reflects the systematic 20th-century development of the Llano Estacado, where wide-open spaces are meticulously partitioned for production.
