2019 Map of Simms NW

About this map

Pippen Draw and Slaughterhouse Draw carve subtle pathways through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle along the border of Oldham and Deaf Smith counties. This landscape is defined by its vast, open character, primarily shaped by a network of county roads such as Co Rd B and Co Rd 18 that follow the section lines of the rural survey grid. The infrastructure is sparse, dominated by long north-south thoroughfares like Fm 290 and State Highway 214. The presence of small, intermittent wetlands scattered across the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the unique hydrologic patterns of the Llano Estacado. This 2019 survey documents the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where transportation routes like Co Rd PP and Co Rd 28 provide the primary structural framework for the land.
