2010 Map of Spearman SE

About this map

The high plains of Hutchinson County are defined by a network of drainage systems including Pats Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Pats Creek. This 2010 landscape shows the intersection of modern agricultural road grids with the natural topography of the Texas Panhandle. Local transportation is centered on Farm Rd 281 (also labeled Fm 281) and a series of county roads like Co Rd BB and Co Rd A. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes more varied as the headwaters of Willow Creek and Johns Creek emerge. The map illustrates how human engineering, represented by the straight lines of Brainard Rd and other numbered routes, adapts to the winding paths of the region's seasonal watercourses.
