About this map

Edgemon Lake and Emerson Lake sit at the heart of this High Plains landscape, where a network of ephemeral drainages and county roads defines the rural character of Briscoe County. The terrain is deeply incised by the erosive forces of Los Lingos Cr, which passes through Dark Canyon and over Lingos Falls. To the northeast, the land descends into Dobbs Hollow and follows the course of Big Cottonwood Cr toward Cottonwood Lake and Grahams Lake.

Transportation is dominated by the grid of county routes, including Co Road A and Farm-to-Market Road 689, which cross a landscape marked by small springs like Red Rock Spring and southern drainages such as Turkey Cr and Hackberry Cr. This map documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where water sources and topographic relief provided by hollows like Gay Hollow are the primary landmarks.
