2010 Map of Tolbert

About this map

Farmers Valley and the small settlement of Tolbert anchor this North Texas agricultural landscape during the first decade of the 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including Wildcat Creek, Boggy Creek, and Dan Creek, which eventually reach the wide valley of the Pease River at the southern boundary. This area is heavily organized by a grid of rural roads such as Walton Rd and Boone Rd, interspersed with county routes that follow the section lines of the surrounding ranchland. Traces of local infrastructure appear in labels like Dump Ground Rd, while the passage of Elizabeth Creek through Farmers Valley highlights the relationship between small-scale ranching settlements and the essential water sources of the rolling plains.
