2019 Map of Cope Creek

About this map

Tule Creek Lake sits at the center of this Panhandle landscape, where the flat plains of the Llano Estacado meet the dramatic erosion of the Caprock escarpment. The terrain transitions sharply from orderly section lines and agricultural corridors like Ranch Rd 3300 to the complex drainage systems of Tule Cr and Cope Cr. This transition is most visible at The Narrows, where the elevation drops rapidly into the canyon lands. Recent residential development is concentrated near the lake along streets such as N Mackenzie Rd, Los Lingos Dr, and Lobo Dr. The map also traces the geopolitical boundary between Swisher and Briscoe counties, providing a clear view of how modern transportation networks and land use patterns adapt to the region's formidable geography.
