About this map

The High Plains of Randall County meet the expanding edge of Canyon in this topographical study. Located north of the city center, the landscape is defined by its transition from suburban street grids like Georgia St and S Washington St to the expansive ranch lands that characterize the Texas Panhandle. A significant cultural anchor is the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem along Highway 217, providing a primary point of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlement patterns in the region.

Water management and natural drainage shape the eastern half of the map, where the terrain breaks into the draws and creeks that feed the Red River watershed. Features such as Timber Cr, Sunday Cr, and N Cita Cr wind through the topography, alongside the distinctively named Corral Draw. The intersection of long-established section roads like W Hungate Rd and W Cemetery Rd illustrates the enduring land-use patterns of this agricultural and ranching corridor.
