2010 Map of Dick Moore Canyon

About this map

Dick Moore Canyon and the surrounding ranchlands of Motley County are defined by a network of seasonal drainages and local water sources that support the region's agricultural life. The North Pease River meanders through the northern section of the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries such as Tom Handle Creek and Boggy Creek. A series of isolated landmarks, including Boggy Windmill, Chimney Windmill, and Waybourn Windmill, illustrate the ongoing importance of groundwater management in this semi-arid environment. In the southeast, Mott Camp and Mott Creek serve as rare named sites of human activity amidst the expansive cattle country. The landscape is interconnected by a sparse grid of rural routes like FM 28 and various county roads, reflecting the large-scale landholdings and low population density characteristic of the Texas Panhandle fringe during the early 21st century.
