About this map

Paloduro sits at a crossroads in the High Plains of Armstrong County, where the topography shifts from level ranchlands into the complex breaks and drainage systems of the Panhandle. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and sharp escarpments, notably at Koogle Jump-Off and Water Canyon. This 2016 survey provides a clear view of the watercourses that have carved the region, including the West Fork Cottonwood Creek and Boggy Cr.

A sparse network of roads, such as Uniform Rd and Co Rd 25, serves the scattered homesteads and ranch properties in this cattle-country terrain. High points like Mitchell Peak and natural passes such as Wagon Wheel Gap provide essential landmarks in a region where water sources like Battle Creek and Bull Run dictate the layout of fences and property lines. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the Texas Panhandle, showing the intersection of natural erosion and human transit.
