2019 Map of Simms NE

About this map

The High Plains landscape of the Texas Panhandle is defined by its vast agricultural grid and seasonal drainages, as seen in this 2019 topographical study. The boundary between Oldham Co Deaf Smith Co cuts across the center of the sheet, organizing a network of gravel and ranch roads that serve the isolated cattle operations and farms of the region. Cottonwood Cr provides a subtle break in the flat terrain, its winding path marked by occasional depressions and wetlands. The infrastructure is characterized by long, straight thoroughfares such as Bronnum Rd and Landergin Rd, alongside arterial routes like Ranch Rd 3319. This map illustrates the modern spatial organization of the Llano Estacado, where land use is dictated by the section-line roads and the sparse water resources that historically guided settlement in this part of West Texas.
