About this map

Quitaque Creek carves a deep, intricate canyon system across this Texas Panhandle landscape, marking a stark contrast between the dissected breaks and the level plateau of Wolf Flat to the northeast. This 1967 field-checked survey captures the transition between Briscoe, Motley, and Hall counties, where the small settlement of Folley sits near the edge of the creek's drainage.

The presence of the Turkey Airfield and a Drive-in Theater in the northern portion reflects mid-century infrastructure supporting the local ranching and farming community. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, visible through the network of drainage from Kent Creek and Wolf Creek, as well as numerous cattle tanks and wells scattered across the ranch lands. Local industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits located near the canyon rims.
