2010 Map of Chalk

About this map

Chalk and Hackberry sit within a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Rolling Plains in Cottle County. This survey illustrates the convergence of multiple waterways, including Salt Creek and the North Wichita River, which meander through a grid of county roads and ranch routes. The area’s water management is anchored by the L V Worley Lake Dam and the adjacent L V Worley Lake, positioned north of Ranch Rd 1038. The infrastructure here is primarily geared toward the ranching economy, with an extensive network of local routes such as Co Rd 411 and Co Rd 428 providing access to the interior rangelands. The layout of these ranch roads and the placement of small settlements like Hackberry suggest a community organized around the natural flow of Buffalo Creek and the surrounding watersheds during the early 21st century.
