About this map

Red Stone Cr and its many tributaries carve a intricate drainage pattern through Jackson County in this early 21st-century survey. The landscape is defined by its subtle variations in topography, ranging from the level expanse of Brown Flat to the more depressed Red Stone Basin in the southwest. Scattered throughout this semi-arid environment are several small impoundments such as Corral Pond, Red Rock Pond, and Rock Hill Pond, which suggest a land managed for livestock and water conservation in a region dominated by ranching and open range.

A network of local roads including CS 82 and CS 82a provides access across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. These routes connect various drainages like Deep Cr, Plum Cr, and Pine Springs Cr, illustrating the relationship between the natural hydrology and human navigation of the plains. Farther south, Paulmyer Cr and Cottonwood Cr continue the winding southward flow, passing near landmarks like Badland Pond and Bowman Pond.
