2019 Map of Buzzard Peak

About this map

Buzzard Peak anchors the southern portion of this King County landscape, overlooking a complex network of canyons and drainages characteristic of the Texas Rolling Plains. The northern boundary is defined by the South Wichita River, where the terrain begins its ascent toward the higher breaks. Between these points, the map reveals a remote ranching landscape etched by seasonal waterways such as Spring Cr and Little Croton Cr, which carved the deep incisions of Big Getaway Canyon and Dikes Cr. This late-second-decade survey shows a territory primarily managed through large-scale landholdings, with transportation limited to established routes like Co RD 375 and Co RD 377 that navigate the varied elevations of the breaks. The intricate contour lines illustrate the sharp transitions between flat-topped mesas and the eroding canyon floors that have historically defined northern Texas cattle country.
