About this map

Gaylord sits at the heart of this North Texas panhandle landscape, where the High Plains are carved by a network of seasonal drainages. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of North Fork Kiowa Creek and Kiowa Creek, which create a complex system of draws and breaks across the prairie. A notable landmark in the northern section of the quadrangle is Bean Pott Cliff, a distinct topographic feature overlooking the creek valley.

The map reveals a rural infrastructure built around ranching and transit, with the Old Darrouzett Hwy cutting a straight line across the center of the sheet. Local history is anchored by sites like View Point Cemetery and the Loesch Ranch Airport, reflecting the region's sparse but established settlement. Secondary watercourses such as Plummer Creek, Bowen Creek, and Coyote Creek further segment the grid of county roads, illustrating how the natural hydrology dictates the layout of the land.
