2022 Map of Sanders Hollow

About this map

Sanders Hollow cuts through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, marking a transition between the elevated plateaus and the drainage basins of the Rolling Plains. This 2022 survey captures the intersection of Motley and Dickens counties, a region defined by its ranching landscape and intermittent water sources. The map tracks the headwaters and seasonal flows of several vital local drainages, including Fishhole Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Middle Cr, which eventually feed toward the N Wichita River in the southeastern corner. A network of rural county roads, such as Co RD 247 and Co RD 261, provides access to the interior, while Fm 193 serves as the primary paved artery. Evidence of local water management for livestock is seen in features like County Line Tank, emphasizing the importance of every drop in this semi-arid environment.
