2012 Map of Whiteley

About this map

The small settlement of Whitney anchors this section of the Texas Panhandle, positioned at the intersection of a rigid grid of rural roads. The landscape is defined by the high plains topography, where numerous seasonal depressions and play lakes dot the terrain between extensive agricultural plots. In the southern reach of the survey, Quitaque Cr cuts a rare natural line through the otherwise linear property boundaries and section lines. Access through this sparsely populated region is maintained by a network of county routes, including Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 189, along with the more prominent Farm-To-Market Road 689. This 2012 record captures the area's enduring rural character, where large-scale farming and ranching are supported by a deliberate system of transport and water management in a semi-arid environment.
