2010 Map of Ox Yoke Creek

About this map

South Wichita River meanders across the southern landscape of this King County quadrangle, defining the local drainage system as it joins with several northern tributaries. The terrain is characterized by a network of intermittent watercourses including Ox Yoke Creek, Bird Creek, and Dikes Creek, which carve through the plains. The presence of Jerrys Tank indicates the vital importance of water management in this cattle-ranching region of North Texas. Small ranch roads and tracks crisscross the area, connecting these remote water sources and providing access across the divides between Bitter Creek and the main river valley. This map reflects the enduring rural character of the Texas Rolling Plains, where the landscape is shaped primarily by these winding creek beds and the seasonal flow of the Wichita drainage basin.
