2019 Map of Lipscomb SW

About this map

Locust Grove defines the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape where the Texas Panhandle begins its gradual slope toward the Canadian River valley. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a dendritic drainage network, with the headwaters of West Horse Creek and Horse Creek carving significant relief into the plateau. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region on the boundary between Lipscomb and Hemphill counties. Transportation in this corner of the state relies on a grid of section-line roads such as Co RD 6 and Co RD DD, which navigate the draws formed by Big Timber Creek and its various tributaries. The map reveals the intricate water systems essential to this environment, including the S Prong Sand Cr and the deeply etched E Prong Big Timber Cr.
