2019 Map of Waka

About this map

The boundary between Hansford Co and Ochiltree Co runs vertically through this section of the Texas Panhandle, a landscape defined by its rigid grid of agricultural roads. The small community of Waka is situated along a diagonal thoroughfare, where localized streets like Rogers Ave and Butler Ave cluster near the Waka Cem. The area reflects a late-period survey of rural high-plains geography, with the vast majority of the land divided into large-scale sections serviced by a network ranging from Co Rd J in the north to Co Rd R in the south. Farther north, the isolated Bethel Cem sits along Co Rd 4, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region where the cattle and grain economy dictates the placement of every fence line and ranch road.
