About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River carves through the Panhandle landscape, defining the geographic character of this borderland between Hall and Childress counties. The small community of Estelline serves as a local hub, with its grid of streets including Main St and Cleveland St situated just south of the river. To the northwest, the settlement of Newlin sits near the banks of the fork, connected to the larger region by the diagonal path of the highway and proximity to the Newlin Cem.

For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burials, documenting the Estelline Cem, Dillon Cem, and the Hutchins Family Cem. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage patterns, with Mountain Cr and Rustlers Cr feeding into the main river channel. The presence of Estelline Spring suggests the vital water sources that once sustained these early Texas settlements and cattle ranching operations.
