2010 Map of Channing NW

About this map

Rita Blanca Creek and Punta de Agua Creek carve through the high plains of Hartley County, defining the drainage patterns of this Panhandle landscape. The map reveals a region organized around ranching and rural infrastructure, where isolated landmarks like Flats Windmill indicate the vital importance of water management in a semi-arid environment. Transportation is governed by a grid of farm-to-market roads and county routes, including FM 767, FM 2357, and Co RD Y, which connect the scattered homesteads and pastures. In the southeast, Los Redos Creek further illustrates the complex network of intermittent and permanent waterways that shape the local geography. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of natural hydrology and the human efforts to settle and work the Texas north country.
