About this map

Cow Creek meanders through the heart of this High Plains landscape, which is defined by an orderly grid of section lines and range roads. The drainage of Cow Creek provides the primary relief in an otherwise flat agricultural region near the Oklahoma-Kansas border. The settlement pattern here is sparse, characterized by occasional farmsteads and rural dwellings connected by a network of numbered and lettered roads such as A Blvd, Road E, and Mile 21. This 2010 USGS survey documents the area's modern land divisions and water resources, including small stock ponds scattered among the large cultivated tracts. The systematic numbering of routes like N0725 Rd and E0015 Rd reflects the methodical surveying of Texas County, highlighting the transition from traditional named roads to the standardized county grid system used in the 21st century.
