2016 Map of Kiowa Peak NE

About this map

Smelter Canyon carves through the landscape of the Rolling Plains, marking a rugged transition in the terrain north of the King Co Stonewall Co line. This region is defined by its drainage systems, where Gyp Cr and N Croton Cr flow toward the larger Brazos River in the southeastern corner. The map reveals the infrastructure of a working ranching landscape, connected by a network of county roads including Co RD 352 and Co RD 379. Water management is evident through features like McElroy Lake and Arnold Ranch Lake, which serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise open country. The presence of Wedington Cr further emphasizes the complex hydrology of this high-plains environment during the mid-2010s.
