2010 Map of Hell Roaring Creek

About this map

The North Pease River flows across the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, joined by its tributaries in a drainage system that includes the descriptively named Hell Roaring Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a largely rural area of Cottle County defined by its watercourses and a sparse grid of county roads. The northern section is dominated by the meandering Shores Creek, while the central-western area contains Groclose Lake and the associated Groclose Lake Dam. This topographic study captures the character of the Rolling Plains during the first decade of the 21st century, showing how the land is segmented by routes like Fm 2103 and Co Rd 154. The drainage patterns of Sweetwater Creek and Devils Creek highlight the significance of seasonal water flow in this ranching country.
