2010 Map of Plaska

About this map

The confluence of high plains ranching and river drainage defines this Hall County landscape in the early 21st century. The map is anchored by the settlement of Plaska, situated north of the expansive Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. This river system, along with the Little Red River to the south, creates a distinct network of seasonal watercourses and draws, including Oaks Creek and Bullard Creek, that cut through the local topography. A grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, such as FM 657 and FM 2472, provides access to the agricultural parcels surrounding Buzzard Draw. The survey reveals a sparsely populated region where natural water boundaries dictated the layout of early transportation and property lines.
