2012 Map of Smithdale

About this map

Smithdale and Abington anchor this section of Childress County, illustrating a landscape defined by ranching and the intricate drainage systems of the eastern Texas Panhandle. The most prominent geographic feature is the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River, which cuts across the central portion of the map, fed by several significant seasonal watercourses including Salt Cr and Gypsum Cr. The road network is primarily composed of county roads and ranch access routes, such as Vest Ranch Rd and Ranch Road 2465, which navigate the terrain around Conkline Cr and Whites Cr. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the sparse rural settlement patterns typical of the region, where wide-open spaces are segmented by a grid of local routes supporting the local agricultural and ranching economy.
