2019 Map of Halfway Creek

About this map

Halfway Cr and Parker Cr weave through this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and ranching infrastructure. The drainage systems of Ranch Cr and Cottonwood Cr provide natural contours in an otherwise open terrain, where water management is centralized in numerous named livestock tanks. These reservoirs, including Trujillo Tank, Caliche Tank, and Rincon Tank, are essential markers for local history and land usage. Transportation is largely limited to the south, where Everett Rd provides access across the arid plains. The presence of specialized catchments like Horse Trap Tank and Bull Pab Tank highlights the enduring cattle-ranching heritage of Oldham County, while the varied elevations around Big Halfway Tank and Little Halfway Tank offer insight into the hydrology of the High Plains.
