2022 Map of Channing NW

About this map

Rita Blanca Cr and Punta de Agua Cr define the drainage patterns of this corner of the Texas Panhandle, carving through the high plains north of the Canadian River valley. The landscape is characterized by these intermittent stream beds and the rugged breaks of the Llano Estacado, where cattle ranching has long been the primary economic driver. A sparse network of ranch-to-market roads, including Fm 767 and Fm 2357, provides access to the remote backcountry of Hartley and Oldham counties. The map highlights the transition between the flat upland plateaus and the dissected canyonlands surrounding Los Redos Cr, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use common in this semi-arid region during the early 21st century.
