2010 Map of Simms

About this map

Simms anchors this high plains landscape in Deaf Smith County, illustrating the organized grid of the Texas Panhandle. The geography is defined by a sparse but vital network of county roads and state farm-to-market routes that support the regional ranching and agricultural economy. Palo Duro Creek meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a natural break in the otherwise structured township and range system. This 2010 survey reflects a landscape of vast agricultural parcels and isolated farmsteads connected by routes like FM 2587 and FM 1412. The presence of several small depressions and drainage basins suggests the seasonal importance of water management in this arid environment, where the land is primarily organized around the intersection of Co RD NN and local east-west thoroughfares.
