About this map

The town of Wheeler serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape, situated at the intersection of several key regional routes and residential streets such as S Alan L Bean Blvd and S Mobeetie St. The town's layout reflects its role as a county hub, with the Wheeler Cem positioned on its southern edge. This 2016 survey illustrates a well-defined grid of section roads, like Co RD 13, that dissect the terrain between the northern drainage of Sweetwater Cr and the southern reaches of Bronco Cr.

Toward the southwest, the topography drops away toward the N Fork Red River, which cuts across the corner of the quadrangle. Smaller water features like Silver Cr and the isolated Bronco Springs indicate the vital role of water management in this semi-arid ranching and farming country. The extensive network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 2473, highlights the connectivity required for the local agricultural economy.
