About this map

Dickens serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated at the junction of several county routes and State Loop 120. The town's layout is centered around 4th St, with the Dickens Cemetery located just to the northeast, offering a clear record of the community's local history. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding paths of Croton Creek and Duck Creek, which drain the open ranch land of the region.

Water management and natural landmarks are prominent features of the area's geography. Notable heights include Cathey Hill and the distinctive Soldier Mound, providing significant elevation points above the creek beds. Human intervention in the landscape is evident through the creation of Lehew Lake Number 1 and Lehew Lake Number 2, both formed by their respective dams, Lehew Dam Number 1 and Lehew Dam Number 2. These water bodies and terrain markers represent the essential interplay between natural drainages and local infrastructure in this part of West Texas.
