2010 Map of Canyon Valley

About this map

The Salt Fork Brazos River carves through this West Texas landscape, defining the topography south of the small settlement at Canyon Valley. The drainage network is dense for this semi-arid region, with Lake Creek and the aptly named Pigpen Creek feeding into the river system. To the west, the landscape is managed for water storage at Henderson Lake, held by the Henderson Dam. The map reveals a strict rectilinear grid of county roads, including Co RD 238 and Co RD 227, which overlay the natural meandering paths of Turkey Creek and McDonald Creek. This intersection of natural hydrology and human-imposed land divisions illustrates the agricultural and ranching organization of Crosby County in the early 21st century.
