About this map

Buffalo Springs and the surrounding Dallam County plains define this high desert landscape in the Texas Panhandle. The area is characterized by ephemeral water sources and isolated settlements, with Coldwater Cr winding across the northern section of the survey. The geography reflects a ranching and agricultural economy, where long stretches of road like Felt Rd and Bryan Rd connect sparse homesteads and grazing lands.

Surface water is a defining trait of the local topography, featuring Flater Lake and the Alkali Lakes. These features, alongside the small community at Thompson Grove, show the pattern of human adaptation to a semi-arid environment. The road network, including Buffalo Springs Ln and Thompson Grove Ln, follows the rigid section-line grid typical of the region, providing a clear view of land division and property access in the early 21st century.
