2012 Map of Pond Creek NW

About this map

The N Fork Red River meanders across this part of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where water management is central to land use, evidenced by the presence of Franklin Lakes and Gething Lakes in the east. The drainage network is complex, with Sand Cr and Cantonment Cr feeding into the river valley from the north, while Red Mud Cr and Cabin Cr drain the southern reaches. Navigation through this territory relies on a grid of rural routes including Farm-To-Market Road 1321 and specifically named local tracks like Franklin Ranch Rd, which provide access to the expansive ranch holdings that dominate the Gray County countryside.
