About this map

The High Plains city of Canyon sits at the convergence of several major watercourses, including Tierra Blanca Creek and Palo Duro Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the town's expansion toward the north and east, bounded by the McSpadden Lake Dam which creates McSpadden Lake on the eastern edge of the community. The landscape is a mix of dense residential blocks and surrounding agricultural land, marked by a systematic grid of county roads such as W Cemetery Rd and Buffalo Lake Rd.

South of the main settlement, the smaller locality of Cleta serves as a waypoint along the road to the Airsport Skyranch. Genealogical value is found at Dreamland Cemetery, positioned centrally within the quadrangle. The map also records specialized aviation sites like Caniam Airport and the drainage patterns of Hackberry Creek and Dry Creek, which define the local topography south of the primary urban center.
