2022 Map of Rhea

About this map

Rhea serves as the focal point of this Panhandle landscape, where the flat plains of the High Plains are defined by the straight lines of rural county roads. Located near the Deaf Smith Co and Parmer Co line, this area is characterized by agricultural patterns and the wide drainages of Tierra Blanca Cr and Frio Draw. The presence of the Rhea Lutheran Cem near the intersection of Ranch Rd 2013 and FM 2013 points to the area's early settlement by Lutheran families, a common cultural thread in this part of West Texas. The map illustrates a modern infrastructure of county roads, such as Co Rd B and Co Rd 6, which have replaced the early wagon trails but follow the same cardinal orientations across the open landscape.
