2022 Map of Barton Creek

About this map

Locust Grove stands as a focal point in this portion of the Texas Panhandle, situated in a landscape defined by the intricate drainages of the High Plains. The area is marked by the convergence of four distinct counties—Ochiltree, Roberts, Lipscomb, and Hemphill—creating a unique political geography where their boundaries meet. Watercourses like Barton Creek, Gibson Creek, and Buffalo Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural erosion patterns of the region. Transportation across these rural expanses relies on a network of routes such as Ranch Rd 281 and Ranch Rd 1265, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The mapping of Morgan Creek in the southeastern corner further emphasizes the importance of these seasonal or intermittent streams to the local environment and land use.
