2016 Map of West of Kerrick

About this map

The Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in the far northwestern corner of the Texas Panhandle. Fragmented parcels of protected federal land are interspersed with private holdings, illustrating the complex land-use patterns of Dallam County. This 2016 survey details a grid of rural roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Whittenburg Ln, Minnie Mack Ln, and Schoonover Ln. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the shortgrass prairie. The presence of routes like Sandy Trail Rd and Hermit Rd highlights the sparse, remote nature of the region, where the economy remains tied to the vast grasslands and agriculture.
