2019 Map of Coldwater Creek

About this map

Coldwater Cr carves a deep, winding path through the High Plains of Sherman County, creating a stark contrast between the flat upland agricultural sections and the eroded breaks of the stream valley. The drainage basin is a significant hydrological marker in this part of the Texas Panhandle, punctuated by Coldwater Springs in the southwest. A rigid grid of county roads, including Co Rd 26 and Co Rd L, overlays the landscape, stopping abruptly at the canyon edges where the terrain becomes too steep for standard section-line travel. This 2019 survey shows the persistence of large-scale land divisions and the reliance on a few primary arteries like Mitchell Rd and Co Rd M to traverse the northern and eastern reaches of the quadrangle.
