2016 Map of Dick Moore Canyon

About this map

Dick Moore Canyon and the surrounding high plains terrain dominate this landscape along the border of Floyd and Motley Counties. The area is defined by the sharp transition between flat tablelands to the west and the deeply eroded breaks of the N Pease River drainage system to the east. Water sources, often critical in this arid region, are marked by named locations such as Miller Springs and Mott Camp Springs, which likely served as important landmarks for early ranchers and travelers. The drainage network is dense with named seasonal waterways, including Tom Handle Cr, Boggy Cr, and Chimney Cr. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of county roads and FM 28, reflecting a land primarily used for large-scale ranching and agriculture during this 2016 survey period.
