About this map

Collingsworth County and Childress County meet along an intricate drainage network in this section of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the highly dissected terrain surrounding Wet Salt Creek and its tributaries, including Dry Salt Creek and Salt Creek. This topography indicates a complex erosion pattern typical of the region's semi-arid plains, where seasonal water flow carves deep, winding draws into the earth. Human imprint is minimal across this rural expanse, primarily limited to a few secondary thoroughfares like Highway 256 and local routes such as Co RD 7. The map illustrates the dominance of the Horse Creek drainage system, showing how these narrow watercourses dictate the local geography and restrict development to the higher, flatter ground between the creek beds.
