2019 Map of Spofford

About this map

Spofford serves as the primary hub of this Kinney County landscape, where the intersection of several local routes like Anacacho Rd and F-M 1572 meets the rail corridor. The town layout is defined by its orientation to the tracks, with N Railroad St and S Railroad St framing the central settlement. Nearby, Frontier Airport and the Vincent Cem provide clear landmarks for local researchers and genealogists tracing the community's footprint. The surrounding terrain is characterized by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage and ranch infrastructure. Water management is a visible priority across the arid plains, evidenced by numerous named stock tanks such as Red Barn Tank, Yellow Tank, and Gaebler Tanks. These features, along with the meandering paths of Las Moras Cr and Imperialist Cr, illustrate the historical reliance on scattered water sources for the region's ranching economy.
