2016 Map of North of Red Cow Draw

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland segments define the corners of this remote Dallam County landscape, a region deeply tied to the conservation efforts following the Dust Bowl era. The map reveals a sparse network of ranching roads, including Ben Tom Rd and Young Rd, which trace the section lines of the high plains. The most prominent hydrological feature is Coldwater Cr, which cuts a distinct topographic path through the center and southeastern portions of the quadrangle. Local naming conventions are preserved in routes such as E High Lonesome Ln, Lost Camp Rd, and Minnie Mack Ln, reflecting the individual histories of the land tracts and family holdings in the Texas Panhandle. This survey provides a clear view of the open range and managed grassland as it appeared in the early 21st century.
