2010 Map of Brickel

About this map

Brickel is the central point of this High Plains landscape in Sherman County, where the settlement pattern is defined by a rigid grid of rural thoroughfares and winding natural drainage. The area is marked by the seasonal path of Coldwater Creek, which meanders across the northern and central sections of the quadrangle, joined in the far northeast corner by the headwaters of Frisco Creek. These watercourses stand in sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the local transit network, including Fm-807 and long straightaways like E High Lonesome Rd and County Road N. For researchers of early 21st-century Texas land use, the map illustrates the persistence of remote ranching and agricultural tracts, punctuated by landmarks such as Country Club Ln and Little Rd.
