2022 Map of Westway NE

About this map

Old La Plata Cem sits as a lonely marker of early settlement history in this high plains region of Deaf Smith County. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural routes, including Co RD MM and Co Rd 17, which carve the terrain into vast agricultural blocks. The map reveals a subtle, undulating topography characterized by numerous small depressions and playas, a distinctive feature of the Texas Panhandle's hydrology. Modern transit is represented by FM 1057 on the eastern edge, while the interior remains accessible via a systematic network of county roads like RD 16th and RD 12th. This 2022 survey documents the enduring spatial organization of the cattle and farming country that has persisted since the late nineteenth century.
