2019 Map of Brickel

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this portion of the Texas Panhandle, where the high plains meet the headwaters of regional drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Coldwater Creek and Frisco Creek, which provide significant relief to the otherwise flat terrain of Sherman and Dallam counties. This 2019 survey shows a sparsely populated area where the primary human footprint consists of a grid-like road network, including the evocative E High Lonesome Rd and Texas St. The inclusion of Country Club Ln and Little Rd suggests localized development amidst the vast grazing lands, while the RB NG abbreviation indicates secondary parcels of the national grassland. It is a clear portrait of contemporary land management and rural connectivity in the northernmost reaches of Texas.
