2016 Map of Pickett Ranch Creek

About this map

Pickett Ranch Creek and its surrounding drainage systems define this section of the Texas Panhandle, where the boundary between Ochiltree and Roberts Counties cuts through a landscape of dissection and plateaus. The topography is dominated by numerous seasonal watercourses, including the Northwest Fork Point Creek and Hackberry Creek, which carve out the distinct elevation of Tandy Mesa. Human activity is primarily represented by a network of ranching infrastructure, featuring routes such as Ranch Rd 281, Tandy Rd, and Hanks Rd. A notable point of interest for those studying regional land use or water management is the Morrison Scott and Conrad Lake Number 2, which suggests the importance of localized water storage in this arid environment during the early 21st century.
