2012 Map of Taylor Ranch

About this map

Taylor Ranch and the surrounding ranching lands of Gray County define this part of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is carved by a network of seasonal drainages, including Little Turkey Cr and Red Mud Cr, which feed into the larger McClellan Cr system. Settlement is sparse, characterized by a grid of rural routes such as Ranch Road 149 and Hessey Rd. For family historians, the presence of the Elderidge Cem near the junction of X Rd and Darsey Rd provides a specific point of interest in an otherwise wide-open pastoral landscape. The map's detail reveals the intersection of modern road infrastructure like Ranch Road 291 with traditional land use, tracing the development of the High Plains cattle country into the early 21st century.
