2022 Map of Ross Canyon

About this map

Ross Canyon and the surrounding high plains of Briscoe County define the dramatic landscape of this 2022 survey. The terrain is characterized by a sharp divide between the flat caprock uplands and the deeply incised drainages that cut toward the east. These erosional features, including McMurtry Canyon and Lufberg Canyon, reveal the complex geological structure of the region. The map documents a sparse network of ranching roads, such as Ranch Rd 3030 and FM 3365, which navigate the tablelands above the breaks. Seasonal watercourses like Tule Cr and Coon Cr wind through the canyon floors, tracing the natural paths that have shaped this portion of the Texas Panhandle.
