About this map

McClellan Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining the landscape between the Gray and Wheeler County line. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Kellerville sits near the intersection of FM 2473 and Ranch RD 2473, serving as a localized hub in an area otherwise dominated by ranching and oil-related infrastructure. The terrain is notably etched by watercourses such as Hackberry Cr, which feeds into RD Back Lake, and the expansive Saye Draw.

Transportation is facilitated by a grid of rural routes, including the prominent north-south Co Line Rd and the Mc Lean/Gray County Airport located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local geography or land use, the map details numerous specific water features like Hackberry Spring and Dry Sandy Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and cattle operations in this arid environment.
