2016 Map of Umbarger

About this map

Umbarger stands as a focal point in this portion of the Texas Panhandle, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage system of Tierra Blanca Cr. The landscape transitions from agricultural tablelands into the deeply carved topography surrounding Buffalo Lake, an area preserved with recreational paths like the Shortgrass Prairie Loop Trail. Local history is anchored by Saint Mary's Cem, which serves as a significant genealogical landmark for the community. The map reveals a grid of named rural routes, such as Johnson Ranch Rd and Gordon Cummings Rd, reflecting the ranching and farming heritage of Randall County. The sharp contrast between the flat upland fields and the sudden descent into the creek valley defines the local geography, highlighting how water and erosion have shaped this specific corner of the Llano Estacado.
