2012 Map of Sandhill

About this map

Sandhill sits at the northern edge of this Floyd County landscape, serving as a focal point in an area defined by the high plains water systems of the Texas Panhandle. The geography is characterized by the meandering path of the White River, which is joined by intermittent drainage features including Running Water Draw and Callahan Draw. These waterways provide essential relief to the dry agricultural terrain, leading toward distinctive landmarks such as Bois d'Arc Lake. A network of ranch roads and section lines, like Ranch Road 784 and Farm-to-Market Road 37, provides the primary infrastructure for the region. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are named water-pumping points like Bois d'Arc Windmill, West Windmill, and South Windmill, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater management for the local ranching and farming operations.
