2016 Map of Pardue Camp

About this map

Rita Blanca Cr cuts a deep, meandering path through the high plains of Hartley County, defining the eastern edge of this Panhandle landscape. The terrain transitions from the flat, open tablelands in the northwest to a highly dissected canyon system carved by the creek and the western drainage of Cottonwood Draw. A sparse network of rural routes, including Carson Rd and several county roads like Co Rd E and Co Rd 27, provides access to the isolated ranching outposts of the region. Pardue Camp sits as a lonely human landmark amidst the complex topography of the creek breaks. The map illustrates the specialized water management and road systems necessary for large-scale cattle operations in this arid environment, where long stretches of Ranch Rd 998 connect the vast pastures of the Texas Panhandle.
