About this map

The Washita River and its major tributaries, including Major Creek and Dads Creek, define the water-rich landscape of this Hemphill County panhandle region. A significant pattern of mid-to-late 20th-century water management is evident through the numerous Soil Conservation Service structures. These features, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 14 Reservoir, were engineered to control erosion and manage runoff in the prairie drainage basins.

For those researching local heritage, the Washita Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural routes like FM 277 and Co RD 15 that connect family-named areas such as Roy Meadows, Fillingim, and Prater. These labels, alongside the course of Threemile Creek and Gageby Creek, offer a precise record of the agricultural and ranching layout of the High Plains.
