About this map

McClellan Creek National Grassland dominates the northwestern corner of this Texas Panhandle landscape, where the waters of McClellan Cr are impounded to form Lake McClellan. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems cutting through the high plains, including the prominent Tibbetts Draw and Jack Canyon to the north. Further south, the map reveals a series of named watercourses such as Pig Plum Cr, Hackberry Cr, and Barton Cr that carve into the ranchlands of Donley County.

The boundary between Gray County and Donley County bisects the sheet, following a line through a region characterized by sparse settlement and a significant network of rural roads. Smaller bodies of water like Matthews Lake and the branching reaches of Saddlers Creek and Whitefish Creek emphasize the importance of water management in this cattle-country environment. The infrastructure consists largely of ranch access routes like Johnson Ranch Rd and county roads, reflecting the large-scale landholdings typical of this portion of the Llano Estacado.
