About this map

Locust Grove and the settlement of Glazier define the human geography of this Texas Panhandle landscape, where the high plains of Lipscomb County meet Hemphill County. The terrain is characterized by broad expanses like Big Flat, dissected by an intricate drainage system including Clear Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the West Fork Dry Creek. This network of ephemeral watercourses has historically dictated the placement of ranch roads and cattle operations in this arid region.

Transportation is anchored by Ranch Road 1920 and FM 1920, which provide the primary north-south corridors through the ranchlands. In the southeast, Lipscomb Street and Ranch Road 2758 connect the small community of Glazier to the surrounding territory. The map illustrates the sparse, deliberate layout of the Panhandle, where long-distance county roads like County Road DD span miles of open range between scattered homesteads and water sources like Plum Creek.
