Hemphill County, Texas Map

Reading the Hemphill County map

The outline on this map is Hemphill County's legal boundary as published in the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line files. At 910 square miles, the county is roughly the size of a square 30 miles on each side — a typical size for a Texas county.

The red marker shows Canadian, the county seat, and the highlighted shapes in the schematic view are the bordering counties.
