1983 Map of Claude SW

About this map

Badgley Lake and the drainage of Mulberry Creek define this section of Armstrong County, captured during a 1980 field check for this provisional survey. The landscape is characterized by the intricate contouring of the Texas Panhandle, showing the intermittent water systems and depressions that mark the high plains. While the map is sparse in terms of dense settlement, it provides precise topographical data for the rural stretches southwest of the county seat. Geologists and land researchers can trace the natural landforms and elevation changes at a five-foot contour interval, a level of detail that reveals the subtle shifts in the plains before they reach the more dramatic breaks of the nearby canyons.
