2016 Map of Nance Ranch

About this map

Saint Paul Lutheran Cem stands as a central landmark in this part of the Texas Panhandle, situated along the northern section of the quadrangle. The map captures the landscape southeast of Canyon, where the transition from flat plains to a more dissected drainage system begins. This shift is evident in the southeastern corner, where the terrain breaks into several intermittent watercourses including Sunday Cr, N Cita Cr, and Bull Draw. The rural road network, organized largely on a grid of county lines and local streets such as E Hungate Rd and S Osage St, serves the surrounding agricultural operations and the eponymous Nance Ranch. The southern reach of the quadrangle is defined by these deep-cut draws and the seasonal flows of Timber Cr, illustrating the hydrology of the High Plains before they drop toward the Palo Duro canyon system.
