2012 Map of Chalk

About this map

Chalk and Hackberry sit within a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Rolling Plains, where the N Wichita River and Salt Creek have carved distinct paths through Cottle County. This 2012 survey shows a rural infrastructure dominated by ranch roads and section lines, with Ranch Road 1278 and Farm-to-Market Road 3102 providing the primary transit through the sparsely settled cattle country. The hydrology of the area is particularly varied, featuring intermittent streams like Buffalo Cr and Cottonwood Cr alongside more permanent water features such as Worley Lake and L Worley Lake. A specific point of interest is Salt Spring, located in the north-central portion of the map, signifying the mineral-heavy water sources that characterize this region of West Texas.
