2019 Map of Sterley

About this map

The agricultural plains of Floyd County are defined here by a geometric grid of rural roads and scattered playa lakes. The town of Lockney serves as the primary hub in the south, where the local community is anchored by the Lockney Cem and a network of residential streets including W Washington St and N Main St. To the north, the smaller settlement of Sterley sits at the junction of FM 2286 and Co Rd 119, representing the persistent rail-and-road intersections that supported the region's farming economy. The landscape is notably dotted with small, seasonal wetlands and private aviation strips, such as Outback Airport and BFS Airport, which facilitate the vast distances between High Plains operations. Unique local nomenclature is visible in utilitarian labels like Turn Rd and Farmer Turnrow, reflecting the practical layout of the West Texas panhandle.
