2019 Map of Claude SW

About this map

Claude anchors the northeastern corner of this Panhandle landscape, where the flat upland plains begin to break into the drainage systems of the Red River basin. The most significant topographic shift occurs along Mulberry Cr, which carves a winding path across the central-eastern portion of the quadrangle. This area is defined by a rigid grid of rural corridors, including Fm 1151 and Fm 1258, which intersect a series of secondary roads with distinct phonetic names like Juliet Rd, Kilo Rd, and Lima Rd. The transition from the high, level fields near Echo Rd to the more varied relief surrounding the creek bed illustrates the classic erosion patterns of the Texas high plains, providing a clear view of how local transport and land use navigate the shifting elevation.
