About this map

Horse Creek winds through the expansive High Plains of the Texas Panhandle in this portion of Hutchinson County. This landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the section-line road system, including thoroughfares such as Co Rd CC and Co Rd DD, which facilitate movement between rural homesteads and agricultural operations. The area is intersected by Fm 281, a vital connector for local commerce and ranching access. Scattered depressions across the terrain suggest the presence of ephemeral playa lakes, which are characteristic of this region and critical to its ecology. The map reveals the infrastructure of a working landscape at the start of the twenty-first century, where local routes like Co Rd 15 and Co Rd 18 provide the framework for the local economy.
