2022 Map of Colwell Creek

About this map

The North Wichita River snakes along the jurisdictional divide of Foard and Knox Counties, defining the drainage patterns of this rural Texas landscape. This terrain is characterized by dissected breaks and high points such as Ignorant Ridge, which rises above the surrounding plains. The local hydrology is further defined by ephemeral and perennial flows including Colwell Cr and S Beaver Cr, alongside the small basin of Kiowa Lake in the southeast. Ranching and transport infrastructure is represented by a network of rural routes such as Montgomery Ranch Rd and Halsell Rd, which connect the remote parcels of the Rolling Plains. The map provides a detailed view of the winding boundary between Foard and Knox counties, tracing the natural contours of the riverbed as it transitions through the cattle country of North Texas.
