2010 Map of Gilpin

About this map

Gilpin stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Dickens County, situated where FM 3294 meets the local road network. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Duck Creek and its tributary, Dry Duck Creek, which carve through the plains. A notable landmark for local history researchers is the Molly Bailey Windmill, located in the northeastern quadrant near the descent into Getaway Canyon. The terrain transitions from the elevated heights of Red Hill down toward Sage Draw, illustrating the sparse but deliberate placement of ranching infrastructure. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the grid of county roads, such as Co RD 388 and Co RD 404, that connect these isolated water sources and topographical features in the Texas Panhandle.
