2010 Map of Pickett Ranch Creek

About this map

Pickett Ranch Creek flows through this corner of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape of wide-open cattle country and intermittent drainage. The topography is dominated by several winding watercourses, including Point Creek and the Northwest Fork Point Creek, which converge as they move through the plains. A significant local landmark, the Morrison, Scott and Conrad Lake Number 2 Dam, serves as a key piece of water management infrastructure in this arid environment. The presence of the Point Windmill and numerous section-line roads like Co RD 23 and FM 281 illustrate the region's enduring ranching heritage. Rising above the creek beds, Tandy Mesa provides a distinct elevation change in an otherwise steadily sloping terrain, while Hackberry Creek and Gibson Creek drain the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
