2023 Map of McKnight

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River defines the northern reaches of this Panhandle landscape, where a network of seasonal drainages and local roads cross the high plains. Situated on the border of Donley and Collingsworth counties, the area is characterized by the complex topography of Jesse Arroyo and the broad sweep of Oklahoma Draw. The map documents a rural section of Texas dominated by large-scale ranching and agriculture, reflected in the sparse but intentional grid of county roads such as Co Rd P and Co Rd S. This modern survey provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Whitefish Creek and Little Buck Creek, which have shaped the movement and settlement patterns of this frontier region since the era of the great cattle drives.
