About this map

The Pease River cuts through this portion of Cottle County, defining a landscape of complex drainage systems and wide ranchlands. This area is characterized by the convergence of several major tributaries, including the extensive branching of Catfish Creek with its West, Middle, and East Prongs, alongside the northward flow of Hackberry Creek. The topography is notably marked by Ninety-Foot Canyon, while the small settlement of Baker and the Y L Ranch serve as primary points of human activity in this rural expanse.

Transportation through the territory relies on routes like FM 104 and the distinctively named Mormon Rd. These roads connect isolated ranching infrastructure, such as the Pen Windmill, to the larger regional network. The map detail highlights the sparse, spread-out nature of Texas panhandle ranching life at the start of the 21st century, where water sources like Spring Creek and Raggedy Bill Creek remain vital geographic anchors.
