2016 Map of Canyon

About this map

W Texas A and M Univ serves as a major focal point in the city of Canyon, where the urban grid meets the creek-carved landscape of the Texas Panhandle. The city is situated at a natural hydrological junction where Palo Duro Cr and Tierra Blanca Cr converge, creating a complex drainage system that includes Dry Cr and Hackberry Cr. Beyond the main university campus and residential streets like Mable Dr and Conner Dr, the landscape transitions into agricultural and ranching land marked by smaller settlements such as Cleta and Dreamland. To the east, McSpadden Lake sits amidst the drainage plains, while local history is noted at the Cem located south of the main town center. The network of farm-to-market roads and numbered avenues reveals a community shaped by its proximity to both the university and the surrounding High Plains terrain.
