About this map

East Afton and Croton anchor this Dickens County landscape, reflecting the sparse ranching and farming settlement patterns of the Texas Panhandle. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems, most notably the S Wichita River and Little Croton Cr in the south, while Washout Cr cuts across the northern reaches near the King County line.

Surface water management is evident through features like Duncan Tank and Wichita Tank, essential landmarks in this arid environment where agriculture depends on localized collection. The road network, comprising farm-to-market routes like FM 193 and FM 2470, connects these isolated communities and follows the natural contours of the land, including the topographic break at Beef Hollow. This survey provides a precise view of rural infrastructure and land use in the early twenty-first century.
