2016 Map of Whitharral

About this map

Whitharral serves as the central hub for this portion of the Texas High Plains, situated at the intersection of a vast grid of farm-to-market and county roads. The settlement is anchored by a Po and the nearby Whitharral Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural community of Hockley County. The landscape is primarily defined by the seasonal drainage of Yellow House Draw, which winds through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, with roads named for states and international locations such as Kansas Rd, Dallas Rd, and Georgia Rd. These straight-line thoroughfares, including FM 1294 and FM 2306, facilitate the movement of goods across a region marked by numerous small depressions and playas, highlighting the importance of water management in this semi-arid environment.
