2016 Map of Arlie

About this map

Arlie sits within a landscape defined by intermittent watercourses and the grid of rural Texas county roads just south of the Collingsworth and Childress County line. The settlement is anchored by the Arlie Cem, a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing pioneer families in this corner of the Panhandle. The terrain is drained by several branches of the Red River watershed, including the W Fork Sandy Cr, Settlers Cr, and Soldier's Cr. These seasonal creeks cut across the ranching country, where large-scale land management is indicated by thoroughfares such as Ranch Rd 1034 and Ranch Rd 1642. The mapping reflects a modern era of land use where the original cattle trails have been replaced by a systematic road network, though the underlying topography remains the primary influence on habitation patterns.
