About this map

The High Plains of the Texas Panhandle transition into the broken drainage of the Red River watershed in this 2016 survey of Armstrong County. The city of Claude occupies the northeastern corner of the map, serving as a primary anchor for the region's agricultural and ranching community. The landscape is defined by a grid of rural routes, including many named for the phonetic alphabet such as Kilo Rd, Lima Rd, and Juliet Rd, which intersect the expansive cattle country.

A significant geographic shift occurs as the flat terrain gives way to the winding course of Mulberry Cr. This waterway cuts a distinct path through the southern half of the sheet, creating topographical variation that contrasts with the surrounding plains. Notable aviation and transportation landmarks include the Finley Ranch Airport and several Farm-to-Market roads like Fm 1151 and Fm 1258, which facilitate movement between the remote ranch lands and the county seat.
