About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle in this 2016 survey, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal watercourses. The river's winding path creates distinct landforms such as Catfish Bend and the wide drainage of George Canyon, where the elevation drops significantly from the surrounding plateaus. This area, straddling the border between Hartley and Oldham Counties, is characterized by its vital water sources, including the eponymous Humdinger Spring and Pedarosa Springs.

Remote ranching infrastructure is evident throughout the terrain, with access provided by Griffin Ranch Rd and Pvt Ranch Rd. The reliance on managed water for livestock and land use is visible in the numerous tanks scattered across the map, such as North Romero Tank, Cottonwood Tank, and Martha Houghton Lake Number 5. Creeks like Romero Cr and Antelope Spring Cr serve as the primary conduits for drainage into the larger river system, illustrating the natural hydrological network of this ranchland region.
