2010 Map of Whiteface SW

About this map

Sulphur Draw and Lost Draw define the subtle hydrology of this West Texas landscape, cutting intermittent paths across the High Plains of Cochran County. The map reveals an intensive grid of rural infrastructure, where a network of county roads such as Co Rd 197 and Co Rd 177 suggests a landscape dominated by large-scale agricultural allotments. This late-twentieth-century survey shows the transition from traditional farm-to-market routes like FM 169 and FM 2195 to a more complex web of local access roads serving the interior sections. The absence of concentrated town centers emphasizes the wide-open, dispersed nature of settlement in this part of the Llano Estacado, where land use is dictated by the availability of seasonal water and the reach of the paved road network.
