About this map

Ninety-Foot Canyon cuts a sharp profile across this corner of North Texas, where the drainage systems of the Pease River and Catfish Cr converge. The landscape is defined by the complex branching of these waterways, including the W Prong Catfish Cr, Middle Prong Catfish Cr, and E Prong Catfish Cr, which together shape the cattle-country terrain along the border of Cottle and Foard counties.

Transport through this ranching district is marked by rural thoroughfares like Mormon Rd and Ranch Rd 104, which navigate the elevation changes between the high plains and the creek bottoms. The presence of colorfully named features like Raggedy Bill Cr and Talking John Cr reflects the local vernacular of the region's early settlement history. This survey provides a clear view of the hydrological network that has dictated land use in this part of the Panhandle for generations.
