About this map

Dodson sits at the junction of Farm Road 338 and Ranch Road 1642, serving as a structured grid of residential streets like Wells Ave and Scott Ave in this corner of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork Red River to the north and a network of seasonal drainages including Sand Cr and Junkie Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Dodson Cem east of the main settlement, while the presence of Sand Creek Springs and the Hay Camp outpost suggest the importance of water and livestock management in this agricultural region. The map details a transition from the organized town blocks of Dodson to the wide-ranging ranch roads and creek beds that dominate the surrounding territory near the Oklahoma border.
