2010 Map of Rolla SW

About this map

Swearingen anchors the southeastern corner of this rural Texas landscape, where the drainage systems of several key waterways define the local topography. The map illustrates a distinctive network of seasonal and permanent watercourses, including the divergent paths of Wet Salt Creek and Dry Salt Creek, which carve through the plains. The northern reaches are dominated by Buck Creek and its tributary Squaw Creek, indicating a terrain heavily influenced by hydraulic erosion and ranching needs. The human footprint is primarily defined by a geometric grid of rural transit, with major local arteries like FM 1547 and FM 1056 providing the essential connections between remote farmsteads and regional markets. This 2010 survey highlights the enduring isolation and vast scale of the Collingsworth County panhandle, where land division and road placement continue to follow the natural logic of the creek beds and flat prairies.
