About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River carves through the central Texas landscape, defining the complex erosional topography of this region in Armstrong County. This 2019 survey captures the convergence of numerous drainage systems, including the Salt Fork, Coyote Cr, and Pleasant Cr, as they feed into the larger river valley. The map documents the dramatic change in elevation where the flat plains give way to the intricate breaks of the Palo Duro Canyon system and Happy Canyon.

While largely defined by its physical geography, the map reveals human imprints through the established road network. Routes like Fm 285, Wayside Rd, and Zulu Rd traverse the plateau and descend toward the canyon floor. Landmarks such as Road Point serve as navigational anchors in this expansive terrain, illustrating how rural infrastructure adapts to the significant relief of the Panhandle breaks.
