About this map

Schott Mountain rises above a complex network of draws and canyons in this Briscoe County landscape. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Palo Duro Canyon and the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River, where numerous seasonal drainages like Marshall Cr and Rough Cr converge. The terrain is marked by distinct geographic features such as Folley Park, Folley Canyon, and the high ground of Karnies Flat.

Water management in this arid region is evidenced by numerous named stock tanks and natural springs, including Wagon Wheel Tank, Caliche Tank, Minnow Spring, and Terry Spring. These features, along with the detailed recording of Long Draw and South Draw, illustrate the vital relationship between the local geography and the ranching needs of the area. A solitary route, Co RD 27, provides the primary modern access through the central breaks and flats.
