2016 Map of Simms NW

About this map

Pigpen Draw and Slaughterhouse Draw define the topography of this high plains landscape along the county line. The 2016 survey shows a sparse, agricultural environment where the boundary between Oldham Co and Deaf Smith Co is marked by an expansive grid of section roads. This particular quadrant of the Texas Panhandle is characterized by its large-scale drainage patterns and a highly organized transportation network, including Fm 290 and numerous county routes like Co Rd 18 and Co Rd 28. The map documents a modern snapshot of the region, where the primary infrastructure consists of these linear roadways serving remote ranching or farming interests. The presence of these specific draws indicates the natural water runoff paths in an otherwise flat, open territory, offering a precise record of the land's hydrology and human division at the time of publication.
