2019 Map of Shamrock West

About this map

Shamrock sits at the eastern edge of this Panhandle landscape, where the town grid transitions into the expansive ranch and farm lands of Wheeler County. The Interstate 40 corridor serves as the primary modern artery, passing through the small community of Lela and providing access to historical local markers like Lela Cem. This 2019 survey documents a terrain defined by intermittent drainage systems, including Roundup Cr, Long Dry Cr, and Elm Cr, which carve shallow paths across the high plains. The boundary with Collingsworth County to the south marks a shift toward more broken country near Dozier Cr. Local roads and rural routes like FM 1547 and FM 3075 connect the scattered homesteads and family sites, including Bowers Cem, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of this cattle-country region.
