2010 Map of Cope Creek

About this map

Tule Creek Lake serves as a central geographic anchor for this High Plains landscape, held by the MacKenzie Dam where several seasonal watercourses converge. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sparse network of county roads and established agricultural operations, including the Flowers Ranch, Martin Ranch, and Mayfield Ranch. These large landholdings reflect the enduring ranching economy of Briscoe County. Topographical interest is concentrated along the winding paths of Cope Creek and Rock Creek, which cut through the level caprock. A notable landform known as The Narrows appears along the eastern reaches of Tule Creek, marking a transition in the local drainage pattern where the water begins its descent from the plateau. The map details the modern infrastructure of the early 2000s, showing the intersection of FM 3300 and N MacKenzie Rd providing access to the reservoir.
