About this map

The high plains of the Texas Panhandle define this landscape where the Dallam Co Hartley Co line runs through open cattle country. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Carrizo Cr, which cuts through the northern half of the area. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated rural district centered on the landmark Canyon School, a point of reference for the surrounding ranching community.

A network of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 1727 and FM 694, provides the primary infrastructure for the region. Named thoroughfares like Newman Rd, Brorman Rd, and Richards Ln suggest the local family histories and agricultural holdings that have shaped this portion of the Panhandle. The map illustrates the characteristic playa-dotted geography of the Llano Estacado, where small depressions and drainage patterns like those along the creek dictate the local land use.
