1976 Map of Brice SW

About this map

Little Red River flows across the southern reaches of this landscape, a stark contrast to the intricate canyon-cut terrain of Hall County. This 1976 orthophotoquad reveals the intricate erosional patterns of the Texas Panhandle, where the high plains break away into a labyrinth of drainage channels. In the north, the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River forms a wide, sandy corridor, typical of the braided river systems in this region. The imagery highlights the stark boundary between the geometric precision of upland agricultural fields in the northwest and the untamed, deeply dissected breaks that dominate the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. These aerial photographs provide a clear view of the land use and natural topography before modern developments altered the rural character of the area.
