2022 Map of Dads Creek

About this map

The Washita River snakes across the northern portion of this Hemphill County landscape, defining a terrain of numerous creek drainages and ranching operations. The local history of this Texas Panhandle region is anchored by quiet landmarks like Washita Cem near the river and Gageby Cem further south. Scattered rural localities including Hobart and Fillingim are connected by a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 277. The importance of water management in this cattle-ranching country is evident through several reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir on White Creek. Aviation plays a role in modern ranching life here, noted by the presence of private airstrips like Split B Ranch Airport and En Gedi Ranch Airport. The topography is shaped by the constant carving of Dads Creek, Threemile Creek, and Major Cr.
