About this map

Seminole sits at the northwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, serving as a hub for a network of rural county roads that grid the high plains of Gaines County. The terrain is defined by its subtle drainage patterns, notably the winding courses of Wardswell Draw and Seminole Draw, which cut across the southern portion of the quadrangle. These ephemeral watercourses reflect the arid hydrology of the region, where water only occasionally flows through the shallow basins.

Modern infrastructure, including the straight-line path of Highway 180 and local arteries like Telephone Rd and Fairview Rd, facilitates access to the surrounding agricultural and ranching lands. The map details the transition between established paved routes such as Fm 1429 and a dense system of numeric county roads, such as Co RD 104 and Co RD 405, which support the dispersed homesteads and industrial activity typical of the Llano Estacado.
