2016 Map of East Afton NE

About this map

The S Wichita River defines the southern reach of this West Texas landscape, where the high plains begin to break into complex drainages along the border of King and Dickens Counties. The terrain is dominated by significant erosional features such as Davidson Canyon and numerous draws including Wildcat Draw and Shinnery Draw. These intermittent watercourses, along with Dripping Spring, suggest a ranching environment where water sources dictated land use and settlement patterns. The map shows a sparse network of rural roads, such as Co RD 101 and FM 193, navigating the dissected topography. Collectors and researchers can trace the intricate network of tributaries like Geneva Fork and China Cr as they feed toward the larger river system in this quiet corner of the Rolling Plains.
