About this map

The Canadian River meanders across the northern portion of this Potter County landscape, where the waters of the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area extend into deep-cut ravines like Saddle Horse Canyon. This terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage draws and seasonal creeks that have carved the High Plains, including the winding Rosita Creek and Frio Draw.

South of the river, the small settlement of Chunky sits along the corridor of Highway 87/287. The map reveals the area's hydrology through numerous named water sources, such as Bullfrog Spring, Bog Spring, and Tincup Spring, which were historically vital in this semi-arid region. These features, along with the residential streets of River Park Dr and the various Park Circles, show the modern interface between recreational land and rural residential development near the river valley.
