2019 Map of Rayland

About this map

Pease River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a shifting natural boundary where Hardeman, Foard, and Wilbarger counties converge. The terrain is defined by wide river bottoms and the intermittent flow of Paradise Cr, situated in a region traditionally dominated by ranching and cotton farming. Settlement is concentrated around the small community of Rayland and the crossroads at Lockett, connected by a geometric grid of rural roads like Old River Rd and several farm-to-market routes. Local aviation is represented by the privately-held Lehman Airport, while Antelope Springs provides a rare named water source near the riverbank. This survey reflects the modern agricultural character of North Texas, where large land tracts and straight-line county roads persist as the primary infrastructure.
