About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River carves a significant path through this Panhandle landscape, where a network of seasonal drainages and local parks define the geography. The terrain is marked by distinct features such as Cactus Park and Mitchell Park, illustrating the semi-arid character of the region. Local ranching history is anchored by the Howard Ranch, which sits amidst a web of watercourses including Hardscrabble Creek and Hackberry Creek.

As recorded in 2010, the infrastructure is primarily composed of ranch roads and tracks that navigate around erosional features like Robins Arroyo. The convergence of Coon Creek, Troublesome Creek, and Tule Creek into the primary river fork highlights the intricate watershed of the Texas High Plains. This survey provides a clear view of how land use and natural hydrology intersect in a region where water is the primary architect of the landscape.
