2016 Map of Blue Hole Springs

About this map

Blue Hole Springs and its namesake drainage, Blue Hole Cr, anchor this survey of the northern Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the complex branching of Mulberry Cr and its many tributaries, including Parker Cr and Deadwood Cr, which have carved deep into the regional plateau. While the northern half of the area is dominated by this intricate drainage network, the southern portion features dramatic landforms such as Dutch Canyon and the Koogle Jump-Off. Cultural features are sparse in this rural Armstrong County territory, consisting primarily of a few isolated routes like Romeo Rd and Co Rd 25 that navigate the high ground between the arroyos. The map highlights the contrast between the flat high plains and the sudden verticality of the Willow Arroyo system, illustrating the ongoing erosional processes of the High Plains escarpment.
