About this map

Maverick Creek defines the northern landscape of this West Texas region, winding through a terrain marked by dramatic relief and named draws. The boundary between Kent and Scurry Counties bisects the area, highlighting a transition where ranch roads like Ranch RD 1231 provide access to the high plains. Historically, the names etched into the land—like Church Peak and Overlook Hill—suggest the vantage points used by early inhabitants and cattlemen to navigate the canyon systems.

Water sources such as Salt Springs Cr and Rough Creek carve deep into the earth, creating natural landmarks like Red Aleck Canyon and Cox Hollow. These features represent the essential hydrology of the Panhandle, where seasonal drainages like Cedar Draw and Gyp Draw dictate the local geography. For the researcher, this map provides the exact coordinates of these family-named and geographic landmarks as they existed in the early 21st century.
