About this map

N Pease River carves a winding path through this corner of the Texas Rolling Plains, where the border between Childress and Cottle counties meets. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainage systems, including the vividly named Big Nasty Cr and Little Nasty Cr, alongside Chimney Cr and Scatterbranch Cr. These waterways create a highly dissected topography that has historically influenced ranching and transit patterns in the region.

The eponymous Buckle L Ranch serves as the primary named landmark in a territory dominated by expansive landholdings and isolated county roads. To the north, the terrain levels off around the prominent elevation of Flat Top, while a grid of local routes like Co RD BB and FM 3031 provides access across the drainage divides. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the Panhandle ranching economy as it appeared in the late 2010s.
