About this map

Clarendon serves as the focal point of this Donley County landscape, situated atop the plains of the Texas Panhandle. The town’s grid is clearly defined, with streets such as Wood Ave and Bugbee Ave extending toward a cluster of nearby burial grounds, including Odd Fellows Cem, Citizens Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. These sites offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families in the region. To the north, the waters of Greenbelt Reservoir dominate the drainage system, fed by Kelly Cr.

The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals a more complex topography where the flat terrain breaks into deep drainage cuts. Landmarks such as Gunboat Mtn and Troublesome Canyon overlook a network of seasonal streams, including Polecat Cr, Halls Cr, and Cottonwood Creek. The transition from the established town center to these named canyons and creeks illustrates the typical Panhandle geography, where agricultural and ranching lands are interrupted by the sudden relief of the Red River watershed.
