2016 Map of Dunlap

About this map

The Middle Pease River meanders across this Cottle County landscape, carving a wide bed through the high plains of North Texas. The settlement of Dunlap serves as a central point in an area defined by extensive ranching and county road networks, where the terrain is dissected by numerous drainage systems including Sweetwater Cr and Turkey Cr. The presence of Bluff Cr and Ox Cr highlights the complex hydrology required to sustain this semi-arid region. Transportation is facilitated by a grid of local routes like Ranch Rd 1440 and Ranch Rd 2998, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching operations to the larger region. This survey captures the rural character of the Texas Rolling Plains, illustrating how the natural watercourses dictate the placement of roads and small communities.
