2012 Map of Tam Anne

About this map

The settlement of Tam Anne anchors this portion of Castro County, representing the grid-based agricultural organization of the Texas Panhandle. This landscape is defined by a rigorous network of section lines and transport corridors, including major arteries like Ranch Road 1172 and Fm-1057. The area's hydrology is marked by numerous small, ephemeral depressions or playas scattered across the plains, which have historically influenced local drainage and farming patterns. A dense web of secondary routes, such as Co Road L and Co Rd-28, provides access to the vast acreage that surrounds the central townsite. This geography illustrates the transition of the High Plains into a highly structured agricultural engine in the early 21st century, where road development follows the cardinal directions of the original land surveys.
