2023 Map of Rolla SW

About this map

Buck Creek and its tributaries dominate the drainage patterns of this corner of Collingsworth County, carving a network of breaks and draws through the Texas Panhandle landscape. The map illustrates a rural area defined by extensive county road grids and ranch access, where Buck Creek is joined by Little Buck Creek in the north, while the southern reaches are shaped by the intermittent flows of Wet Salt Creek and Dry Salt Creek. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the infrastructure of the contemporary cattle and agricultural economy, showing the connectivity provided by Farm to Market Roads such as FM 1547 and FM 338. The absence of dense settlements emphasizes the wide-open character of the region, where family-run operations are linked by a meticulous network of local routes including Co RD 80 and Co RD 40.
