2019 Map of Whiteface SW

About this map

Sulphur Draw and Lost Draw define the subtle topography of this Cochran County landscape, where the seasonal watercourses of the High Plains cut across a strictly surveyed grid of agricultural land. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment dominated by a network of farm-to-market and county roads, including the prominent diagonal of FM 169 and the intersecting paths of Co RD 190 and Co RD 177. This 2019 survey documents the enduring spatial organization of West Texas ranching and farming country, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of transport corridors like Co RD 150 and Co RD 197. The scarcity of named settlements highlights the area's character as a working landscape of expansive private holdings and essential rural infrastructure.
