2021 Map of Big Springs NW

About this map

Ash Hollow dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant topographical transition in the panhandle's sandhills. This 2021 survey reveals a sparse, high-plains environment defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads, such as RD 34 and RD 189, which navigate the subtle undulations of the terrain. The presence of Zion Cem and Day Cem indicates the long-standing footprint of rural communities in a region primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching or agriculture. Water is a scarce commodity here, represented primarily by the intermittent drainage of Dry Cr. The intersection of Garden and Deuel counties bisects the map, showing how administrative boundaries often run straight across this open country regardless of the winding draws and ridges below.
