2016 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Indian Creek and its many tributaries carve a dendritic drainage pattern through this section of the High Plains, illustrating the hydrological network that defines southeastern Comanche County. The landscape is characterized by the confluence of numerous intermittent streams, including Owl Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Dog Cr, which flow through a network of sections surveyed under the Public Land Survey System. The western edge of the adjacent Barber County line is visible, where Mule Cr crosses the boundary. Human presence is marked primarily by the grid of rural roads, such as Ave Q and Rd 31, which follow the section lines. This 2016 survey captures the area's essential agricultural and ranching layout, showing how the local road network accommodates the uneven terrain created by the Indian Creek watershed.
