2016 Map of Wolfforth NW

About this map

Agricultural patterns and isolated depressions define this section of the High Plains in Hockley County. The landscape is structured by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, many of which carry the names of distant states, such as Louisiana Rd, Iowa Rd, and Georgia Rd. These thoroughfares, along with the north-south alignment of Fisher Rd and Gaines, suggest a history of organized land allotment and rural development typical of the Texas Panhandle. The map shows the intersection of major state-maintained routes like Fm 168 and Fm 1294, which serve as the primary conduits for local transport. Notable for its lack of concentrated settlements, the area instead features specialized nomenclature like Onion Shed Rd, hinting at the agricultural industry and infrastructure that sustains the region.
