2016 Map of Simms NE

About this map

The border between Oldham Co and Deaf Smith Co divides this High Plains landscape, where the terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of Cottonwood Cr and a rigid grid of ranching roads. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where large-scale agricultural parcels are accessed via routes such as Bronniman Rd and Landergin Rd. This 2016 survey captures the area’s dependence on the section-line road network, including the transition of FM 3319 into Ranch Rd 3319. Scattered depressions and small wetland pockets across the plateau suggest the region’s characteristic playa lake hydrology, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle west of the Canadian River breaks.
