About this map

The Salt Fork Red River carves a deep, intricate drainage pattern across the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, defining the southern half of this landscape. The transition from the flat agricultural tableland to the broken breaks of the river valley is sharp, marked by the abrupt descent of local routes like Co Rd 16 and Co Rd 17. This area sits on the political boundary of Carson and Armstrong counties, where the systematic grid of rural roads is interrupted by the winding geology of the river system. North of the breaks, the terrain remains characterized by expansive agricultural plots and a phonetic naming convention for local connectors, including Alpha Rd, Bravo Rd, Charlie Rd, and Delta Rd, which organize the homesteads and fields north of the river's influence.
