2022 Map of Horseshoe Hill

About this map

Palo Duro Cr flows through the western portion of this Panhandle landscape, marking a distinct topographical transition along the Hansford Co Ochiltree Co boundary. The area is defined by the elevation of Horseshoe Hill, overlooking a series of complex canyon-like drainage patterns that feed toward the north and east. This 2022 survey illustrates the remote water resources essential to this arid region, including Wampus Cat Springs and the broad expanse of Peckenpaugh Lake in the southern section. The road network is primarily composed of section-line county roads, though FM 1267 provides a primary north-south corridor on the eastern edge. The map captures the specialized land use of the High Plains, where the drainage of Cottonwood Cr carves into the plateau, creating the breaks that characterize the local geography.
