2016 Map of Red Cow Draw

About this map

The Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this section of the Texas Panhandle, appearing as a fragmented mosaic of protected public lands interspersed with private holdings. This 2016 survey captures the high plains character of Dallam County, where the topography is defined by the subtle drainage of Red Cow Draw. The landscape's human footprint is primarily traced through a sparse grid of named rural corridors, including Andy James Rd and Young Rd, which reflect the vast scale of agricultural and ranching parcels in the region. Local nomenclature like E High Lonesome Ln and Lost Camp Rd hints at the isolation and historical settlement patterns of this corner of the state. Small depressions and wetlands are scattered across the terrain, indicating the vital role of surface water in an otherwise semi-arid environment.
