About this map

Wet Salt Creek and Salt Creek dominate this corner of the Texas Panhandle, carving a complex network of drainage patterns through the breaks of the Red River valley. The landscape is primarily defined by ranching infrastructure and hydrological features along the border of Collingsworth and Childress Counties. A series of Corrals and livestock Tanks are scattered throughout the terrain, indicating the persistent agricultural use of the land into the late 20th century. Transportation is limited to unimproved roads and light-duty routes, emphasizing the rural, sparsely populated character of this region. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit and multiple pipelines that cut across the topography. Smaller waterways like Horse Creek and Long Branch feed into the larger creek systems, illustrating the natural watershed before it reaches the main river channels further south.
