About this map

Buzzard Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this section of King County, where the topography is defined by the winding drainages of the South Wichita River and its various tributaries. The landscape is carved by seasonal watercourses like Spring Cr, Dikes Cr, and Little Croton Cr, which create a complex network of breaks and rises typical of the Texas Rolling Plains. The northern edge of the map follows the river valley, while the remainder of the terrain is marked by significant features like Big Getaway Canyon in the northeast.

Transportation through this ranching country is centered on the junction of State Highway 114 and 82, which cut across the center of the sheet. A network of local routes including Co Rd 377 and Co Rd 379 provides access to the interior, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region. This 2022 survey captures the modern road infrastructure laid over a landform that has long dictated the movement and settlement patterns of West Texas.
