About this map

Collett Springs and the winding course of the White River define this portion of the Texas High Plains, where the flat agricultural tableland drops sharply into the eroded breaks of the Caprock. This transition is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages including Sand Rock Cr, Sand Cr, and Davidson Cr. The geography illustrates a landscape managed for ranching and transport, centered around the Crosbyton Municipal Airport and a series of rural routes such as FM 651 and Ranch Rd 40.

Specific landmarks like Blue Hole and Big Bull Tank indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. The map details several prominent topographical rises, including Indian Hill, Cedar Hill, and Negro Hill, which serve as natural navigation points above the draws. While the western half of the sheet is dominated by organized section lines and county roads, the eastern portion reveals the intricate, jagged canyons carved by the river's tributaries.
