About this map

Hay Lake and a network of ephemeral drainage basins characterize this portion of Briscoe County, reflecting the semi-arid hydrology of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water features, from the South Prong Little Red River in the northeast to the various branches of Little Cottonwood Creek and Big Cottonwood Creek further south.

A geometric grid of ranch and county roads, such as Ranch Rd 145 and Co Rd 19, bisects the terrain, illustrating the organized land management of modern Texas ranching. Notable localized landmarks include the Haynes ScoutCamp near the eastern boundary and the Holmes Creek Tank, which serves as a vital water resource in this drainage-heavy landscape. The map also traces the headwaters of Los Lingos Creek as it winds through the southwestern corner, showing the natural erosion patterns of the region.
