About this map

Dozier and Samnorwood anchor this survey of the Texas Panhandle, where the high plains begin their descent into the river breaks. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Salt Fork Red River in the south and its network of tributary drainages, including Dozier Cr, Lake Cr, and Elm Cr, which cut through the agricultural grid. These waterways have historically dictated the placement of ranch roads and early settlements in this part of Collingsworth County.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Dozier Cem and Plymouth Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this rural community. The map details an extensive road network, from state-maintained routes like FM-1547 and Ranch Road 1036 to numerous numbered county roads that provide access to the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands. Natural landmarks like Elm Creek Springs further illustrate the importance of water sources in this semi-arid region.
