About this map

Crosbyton occupies the northwest corner of this West Texas landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of the Llano Estacado meet the dramatic breaks and canyons of the Caprock Escarpment. The edge of the city is marked by the Crosbyton Municipal Airport and a network of rural roads such as FM 651 and Ranch Rd 40. Moving east, the terrain drops away into a complex system of draws and drainages, including Blue Hole Cr, Yankee Cr, and Sand Rock Cr.

Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by livestock-watering structures like Rock Trail Tank, Big Bull Tank, and Davidson Tank. Distinctive topographic rises such as Indian Hill, Cedar Hill, and Negro Hill punctuate the broken ground between the dry creek beds. In the northeast corner, the White River flows through the canyon bottom near Collett Springs, illustrating the vital water sources that have historically supported ranching and transit through these difficult breaks.
