About this map

Wake lies at the heart of this High Plains landscape where the boundaries of Floyd, Motley, Crosby, and Dickens counties converge. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the flat agricultural tableland to the broken breaks of the Caprock Escarpment. To the east, the drainage of Rustler Cr and Grapevine Cr carves into the terrain, revealing the complex topography that contrasts with the geometric precision of the surrounding county roads.

Infrastructure in this portion of West Texas is primarily focused on ranching and rural transit, evidenced by the presence of the Gardner Farm Airport and a network of FM roads like FM 1958 and FM 28. For genealogists and local historians, the Antelope Cem near the northern boundary provides a specific point of interest for tracing early families who settled this intersection of four Texas counties.
