2022 Map of Dodson

About this map

The town of Dodson anchors this portion of the Texas-Oklahoma border, serving as a concentrated grid of settlement amidst a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and agricultural roads. The northern reach is dominated by the Salt Fork Red River, which winds through the terrain near several curiously named tributaries such as Uncle Frank Cr, Junkie Cr, and Di Gob Cr. These drainages, along with Sand Creek Springs, emphasize the importance of water management in this semi-arid region. For those researching local history, the Dodson Cem sits north of the main town site, providing a primary genealogical anchor. The map reveals a highly structured rural transport network, with numbered county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1642 and FM 338 connecting the isolated ranching and farming tracts that characterize the Collingsworth County panhandle.
