2010 Map of Pleasant Creek

About this map

Palo Duro Canyon dominates this landscape, its deep incisions carved into the Texas Panhandle by the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. This 2010 survey illustrates the complex drainage system of the High Plains, where tributaries like Happy Canyon and Pleasant Creek feed into the primary river channel. The map details a transition from the level plateau surface, marked by landmarks such as Road Point, to the steep, erosional topography of the canyon floor. Transportation in this rural Armstrong County area is defined by the grid-like path of Wayside Rd and local county roads that navigate the dramatic changes in elevation. The survey also captures numerous ephemeral watercourses, including Coyote Creek and Dyer Creek, which characterize the semi-arid hydrology of the region.
