About this map

John Haynes Ridge and Eagles Point dominate the northern terrain of this Briscoe County landscape, where the broken edges of the Llano Estacado give way to the complex drainage systems of the Little Red River. The map shows a transition from the elevated plains of Old Flat Top down into the canyonlands carved by the N Prong Little Red River and S Prong Little Red River.

Water management is a central theme in this 2016 survey, which highlights the recreation and conservation infrastructure of the region. Lake Theo and Hawkins Lake sit at the center of the sheet, supported by a network of specialized reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir. Local landmarks like the Natural Bridge and Gum Springs indicate the unique geological features found within these canyons, while a sparse network of ranch roads like Co RD MM and Co RD 26 provides the only access through the rugged draws.
