2019 Map of Fields Canyon

About this map

The Middle Pease River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, carving through a region defined by extensive canyon systems and wide upland flats. The border between Motley and Cottle counties bisects the terrain, separating the drainage of Fields Canyon and Bar Canyon from the surrounding plateaus. Local ranching and land use are evidenced by named landmarks such as Leary Flat, Baines Flat, and Cooper Flat, which represent the higher, level ground between the breaks. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by features like Gyp Tank and various intermittent streams including Turtle Hole Cr, Blue Lake Cr, and Bitter Lake Cr. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of Co Rd 240 and FM 94, which provide access across the rugged breaks and canyons of the Texas Panhandle.
