2022 Map of Haystack Mountain

About this map

Haystack Mtn rises above a highly dissected landscape of canyons and creek beds in this Dickens County survey. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Duck Creek and the deep incision of Hobble Scobble Canyon, showcasing the erosional patterns of the Texas Rolling Plains. The map reveals an extensive system of land management and water control, marked by numerous reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and a series of grade stabilization structures from Grade Stabilization Structure Ca-1 Reservoir to Grade Stabilization Structure Ca-5 Reservoir. These features, along with named drainage ways like Cottonwood Cr and Washout Cr, illustrate the ongoing efforts to manage soil erosion and runoff in this cattle-ranching and agricultural region.
