1998 Map of Coldwater West

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates the landscape of this High Plains border region, where Dallam County, Texas meets Oklahoma. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral flow of Coldwater Creek and its complex system of tributaries, including Aqua Fria Cr and deep-cut features like Compound Draw. This map captures a working pastoral landscape punctuated by vital water sources such as Government Spring and Potato Spring, which were essential for survival in this arid environment. Dozens of mapped wells are scattered across the plains, illustrating the reliance on groundwater for agriculture and ranching during the late 20th century. Within the grassland boundaries, the Coldwater Lakes provide rare surface water, while a solitary Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale industry in an otherwise strictly agricultural and conservation-focused area.
