2019 Map of Pond Creek NW

About this map

The N Fork Red River carves a broad valley through this portion of Gray County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by winding creek beds and isolated water bodies. Significant tributaries including Sand Cr and Cantonment Cr feed into the river from the north, while Red Mud Cr approaches from the southwest. This 2019 survey shows a pastoral region dominated by ranching infrastructure, where routes like Ranch Rd 1321 and Co Rd 23 provide the primary access to the interior. In the northeast, the presence of Franklin Lakes and Gething Lakes indicates localized basins and wetlands that contrast with the more dissected terrain of Stage Hollow in the southeast corner. The map captures the specialized geography of the Texas Panhandle, where water sources and elevation changes dictate the placement of ranch roads and remote homesteads.
