2016 Map of Coldwater Creek

About this map

Coldwater Cr carves a deep, winding canyon through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle in this portion of Sherman County. The drainage is the primary topographical feature of the area, creating a complex network of draws and breaks that contrast with the flat agricultural tablelands above. The presence of Coldwater Springs in the southwest corner indicates a vital historical water source for this semi-arid region. A regular grid of section roads, including Co Rd L and Co Rd 25, provides access to the surrounding farm and ranch land. This document reveals the intersection of natural hydrology and the rectilinear land management patterns common to the Llano Estacado, where roads like Mitchell Rd and Co Rd M skirt the edges of the canyon system.
