2016 Map of Fields Canyon

About this map

The Middle Pease River carves through the landscape along the western edge of Cottle County, defining a complex topography of breaks and flats in this 2016 survey. This area of the Texas Rolling Plains is characterized by expansive plateaus like Baines Flat and Cooper Flat, separated by the deep incisions of Fields Canyon and Bar Canyon. The map reveals a legacy of ranching and early settlement through named locations such as Ballard Camp, Tee Pee City, and Turtle Hole Camp. Seasonal watercourses, including Turtle Hole Cr and Richland Cr, feed into the river system, while infrastructure is primarily limited to rural routes like FM 94 and various county roads. The interface between Motley and Cottle Counties runs along the eastern portion of the sheet, marking a remote frontier where the terrain shifts from the high flats of Leary Flat down into the rugged drainage of Joe Lake Cr.
