About this map

Palo Duro Canyon and the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River dominate the southern landscape of this 1980s Texas Panhandle survey. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage and creek beds, including Mulberry Creek, Battle Creek, and Bottle Creek, which cut through the terrain toward the river basin. The small settlements of Brice and South Brice appear in the eastern portion of the map, served by a network of ranch roads and surrounded by numerous wells that suggest the region's reliance on groundwater for agriculture and livestock. In the west, isolated water features such as Sink Lake and Timber Lake provide distinct landmarks in a landscape otherwise marked by the deep erosional patterns of Sands Creek and Betty Creek. This map captures the rural character of the borderlands between Donley, Briscoe, and Hall counties just before the close of the 20th century.
