About this map

Buckle L Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this ranching-dominated landscape of West Texas, situated along the southern boundary of the map. The geography is defined by the braided channels of the N Pease River, which carves through the southern terrain. This river system is fed by numerous seasonal drainages, including the aptly named Big Nasty Cr and Little Nasty Cr.

North of the river, the terrain rises toward the prominent Flat Top mesa. This area, straddling the Childress Co Cottle Co line, shows a network of county roads such as Co RD 13 and FM 3031 that provide access to remote pastures and drainage basins like Scatterbranch Cr and Chimney Cr. The map illustrates the sprawling nature of contemporary cattle country where water sources and topographic rises dictate the layout of the land.
