2022 Map of Horse Creek North

About this map

The braided channel of the Canadian River dominates the northern reaches of this Roberts County landscape, carving through the Panhandle plains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, most notably Horse Cr and the multi-branched Three Corrals Cr, which feed toward the river valley from the south. This area maintains a strong ranching character, evident in the naming of features such as Pickett Ranch Cr, Home Ranch Cr, and Payne Ranch Rd. One of the few standing bodies of water in this arid stretch is McMordie Lake, situated amidst the undulating contours south of the river. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the expansive, open-range nature of this part of Texas, where land use is dictated by the availability of seasonal water sources like Point Creek and Hackberry Cr.
