2022 Map of Cook Creek North

About this map

This arid stretch of West Texas landscape, as documented in 2022, is defined by the sharp incisions of seasonal drainage systems moving through Terrell County. Prairie Cr cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle, highlighting the natural hydrological patterns that dictate movement and land use in this part of the Trans-Pecos region. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes and deep canyons that reflect the persistent erosion of the Edwards Plateau. These geological formations dominate the area, where the vast open range is segmented by isolated roads and rugged natural boundaries. While the surface appears sparse, the detailed topography reveals the complex network of draws and arroyos that funnel infrequent rainwater across the high desert floor.
