2022 Map of Buffalo Springs

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates the southern landscape of this Dallam County region, highlighting the vast conservation efforts in the Texas Panhandle. The northern portion is defined by the winding course of Coldwater Creek and the eponymous Buffalo Springs. The terrain is characterized by its hydrologic features, including Alkali Lakes and Flater Lake, which suggest the seasonal and mineral-rich nature of the high plains water table. A sparse network of local roads such as Herber Rd and Decker Rd provides access to these grasslands. This map captures the remote character of the borderlands where Northwest Texas meets the Oklahoma Panhandle, showing a landscape primarily managed for conservation and ranching infrastructure.
