2019 Map of Collett Springs

About this map

The city of Crosbyton sits at the edge of the Llano Estacado, where the flat plains suddenly drop into the breaks of the White River valley. This 2019 survey captures a landscape defined by dramatic topographical relief, as water has carved deep drainage systems such as Sand Rock Cr and Blue Hole Cr into the escarpment. These geological features create a distinct contrast between the developed townsite and the complex canyonlands to the east. Several named landmarks rise above the drainage basins, including Indian Hill, Cedar Hill, and Negro Hill. Water management for cattle ranching is evident through the placement of basins like Big Bull Tank, Rock Trail Tank, and Davidson Tank. The eastern boundary of the map follows the course of the White River, punctuated by the eponymous Collett Springs, while the Crosbyton Municipal Airport serves the local aviation needs of this Crosby County hub.
