2016 Map of Halfway Creek

About this map

Halfway Creek and Parker Creek carve paths through this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape traditionally used for large-scale ranching operations. The area is characterized by a sophisticated water management network of named livestock tanks, which are essential for supporting cattle in this arid environment. Significant landmarks include Big Halfway Tank, Little Halfway Tank, and several specialized sites like Horse Trap Tank and Bull Tub Tank. The presence of these named water features alongside Ranch Creek suggests a long history of pastoral land use, with Everett Rd providing one of the few formal transportation corridors through the undulating terrain of Oldham County. Further east, Cottonwood Creek flows toward the quadrant boundary, marking the varied drainage patterns that historically dictated settlement and grazing routes in this part of Texas.
