2019 Map of Horseshoe Hill

About this map

Horseshoe Hill serves as a prominent landmark in this high plains landscape along the border of Hansford and Ochiltree counties in the Texas Panhandle. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between level agricultural uplands and the deeply etched drainages of Palo Duro Cr and Cottonwood Cr. These seasonal waterways carve a complex network of draws and breaks that interrupt the surrounding grid of county roads. Notably, the map records the location of Wampus Cat Springs and the expansive Peckenpaugh Lake in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the open, ranching-oriented character of this border region, where infrastructure like FM 1267 provides the primary connectivity through the breaks.
