2010 Map of Pond Creek NW

About this map

The North Fork Red River snakes across the southern portion of this landscape, carving a primary drainage path through the plains of Gray County. This 2010 USGS survey documents the complex network of intermittent streams and coulees that feed the river system, including Sand Creek, Cantonment Creek, and Red Mud Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the regional ranching infrastructure, defined by a grid of rural roads such as Ranch Rd 1321 and Co Rd 23 that navigate the varied terrain. Smaller water bodies like Franklin Lakes and Gething Lakes appear in the eastern reaches, highlighting specific points of water collection in an otherwise arid environment. The abundance of unpaved tracks and localized named features like Cabin Creek offers a clear perspective on the land use and drainage patterns characteristic of the Texas Panhandle during the early twenty-first century.
