2016 Map of Maybell Canyon

About this map

Maybell Canyon and the wide, braided bed of the Pease River dominate this landscape on the border of Hardeman and Foard counties. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including the substantial Wanderers Cr and its tributary, S Fork Wanderers Cr, which carve through the plains of North Texas. The settlement pattern is defined by a sparse grid of rural roads, many of which appear to follow section lines or topographical breaks. Named routes such as O'Neal Rd, Tabor Rd, and Wofford Rd provide access across the high ground between drainage basins like Spring Cr and Arkansas Cr. This topographic study reveals the complex drainage network required to move water toward the Pease River during sudden flash events in this semi-arid environment.
