About this map

Middle Pease River winds through the heart of this Cottle County landscape, carving a wide bed across the terrain. The small community of Dunlap serves as a central point of reference, situated just south of where a local Roadside Park and several wells are marked. To the southwest, the Matador Wildlife Management Area occupies a significant portion of the sheet, its boundary clearly defined as it meets the rugged drainages of Ox Creek and Bluff Creek.

The presence of scattered Gravel Pits and various wells indicates the localized extraction and water management efforts characteristic of the Texas Panhandle during the late 1960s. Genealogists may find value in the small Cem located near the settlement, while the network of creeks including Sweetwater Creek and Turkey Creek illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have shaped ranching and land use in this part of Texas.
