About this map

The N Fork Red River snakes through the southern reaches of this Panhandle landscape, defining the rugged hydrology of Gray County. The river valley is punctuated by unique landforms such as Devils Gulch and Stage Hollow, while the surrounding plains are marked by a network of ranching operations including Webb Ranch, Harnes Ranch, and Huselby Ranch. These family-named holdings reflect the long-standing agricultural tradition of the region, where water sources like White Horse Spring and Tadpole Lake were vital for livestock.

Small settlements and industrial sidings like Denworth and Bellco are positioned near the river, connected by a lattice of rural routes such as Ranch Road 1321 and Ranch Road 2857. The map also captures several smaller drainages including Cantonment Cr, Huseiby Cr, and Wolfhouse Run, which feed into the primary river system, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries for generations.
