About this map

Dougherty stands as a focal point of this West Texas landscape, situated at the intersection of FM 28 and several local streets such as Hutchinson Ave and Floyd St. To the north of the settlement lies the Dougherty Cem, a significant site for genealogical research in this rural pocket of the Llano Estacado. The western portion of the map is defined by a systematic grid of county roads, while the eastern section transitions into the more complex topography of the Caprock escarpment.

The drainage patterns of the region are captured through several waterways that carve into the higher terrain to the east. Streams like Mott Cr, Dutchman Cr, and Spring Cr flow eastward, eventually feeding into the larger drainage of Wolf Creek in the southeastern corner. This stark contrast between the flat, road-stitched farmland of Floyd County and the dissected breaks crossing the Motley County line illustrates the geological transition that defines the eastern edge of the High Plains.
