1985 Map of Indian Peak

About this map

Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River snakes across the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the flat plains of the Llano Estacado break into the dramatic erosion of the Caprock Escarpment. This 1985 provisional study captures the intricate drainage network of Briscoe County, centered on the prominent Indian Peak. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Johnson Canyon and Folley Canyon, while numerous cattle tanks and draws such as Wild Horse Tank and Cleveland Draw highlight the region's ranching orientation. In the central portion of the map, Folley Park sits amidst a complex system of forks and creeks, including Comanche Creek and the East Fork, illustrating the rugged hydraulic patterns that have shaped this portion of the Panhandle. The map provides a high-resolution look at the topographical transition from high plateau to the canyonlands of the Red River system.
