2010 Map of Simms NW

About this map

Gruhlkey Rd and Co Rd Pp define the western boundaries of this high plains agricultural landscape in Deaf Smith County. The 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure, primarily composed of section-line roads and scattered depressions that characteristic of the Panhandle geography. Unlike earlier eras of concentrated settlement, this period shows a landscape dominated by large-scale land management, where thoroughfares like Co Rd 21 and Co Rd B facilitate movement across the open terrain. The mapping focuses on the functional geometry of the county, tracing a network of local routes including Co Rd 28 and Co Rd 22 that connect the expansive ranching and farming tracts of the Simms NW quadrangle.
