About this map

The S Wichita River flows through the southern portion of this West Texas terrain, marking a landscape defined by deep drainage networks and high plateaus. Situated on the border of Dickens and King counties, the area is characterized by numerous seasonal waterways and springs that have shaped the local topography. Notable water sources include the Dripping Spring and the Geneva Fork, which feed into the larger canyon systems.

Transport through this part of the Rolling Plains is concentrated along FM 193 in the northwest, while a handful of rural routes like Co RD 101 and Co RD 114 provide access to the interior. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns of Davidson Canyon and Shinnery Draw, reflecting the erosional forces that define this cattle-ranching country. Smaller tributaries such as Cottonwood Cr and Willow Cr highlight the reliance on intermittent water in an arid environment.
