2010 Map of Berry Sand Draw

About this map

Berry Ranch and Wright Ranch anchor this corner of the Texas Panhandle, where the high plains are deeply dissected by the drainage systems of the Canadian River valley. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Berry Sand Draw, a seasonal waterway that carves through the terrain alongside Box Canyon. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote, ranching-oriented character of Potter County, where life revolves around water sources like Pretty Spring and the ephemeral flows of Coetas Creek and Bonita Creek. Evidence of local industry is visible at the Caliche Quarries in the southeast, providing a specific look at how the geology of the draw was utilized for road-building materials and construction during this era.
