2019 Map of Dickens North

About this map

Croton Breaks dominate the southern portion of this Dickens County landscape, where the broken terrain of the Rolling Plains meets the Caprock. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the town of Dickens sits near the headwaters of Croton Creek, supported by the historically significant Dickens Spring. The map captures a transition from the rugged topography of Hobble Scabble Canyon and Mackenzie Peak in the west to the more open ranching country around Elton in the north. A network of county roads, including Co RD 132 and Co RD 232, connects scattered homesites and the remote Amity Cem. Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the intermittent flows of Washout Creek, Boggy Creek, and Little Croton Creek, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped this distinctive West Texas environment.
