1985 Map of Schott Mountain

About this map

Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River defines the northern reaches of this landscape, carving a wide path through the Briscoe County terrain. The 1980s topography reveals a complex network of draws and canyons, including Indian Creek, Rough Creek, and Folley Canyon, all draining toward the river's corridor. To the south, the prominent ridge of Schott Mountain overlooks Karnes Flat, a geographic transition that likely influenced local movement and grazing patterns. Human presence in this arid environment is marked by numerous water collection points like Wagon Wheel Tank, Bass Tank, and Horseshoe Tank. Small oases such as Minnow Spring and Terry Spring offer rare natural water sources in a landscape otherwise dominated by seasonal drainage features like Long Draw and Little Cleveland Draw. This survey provides a clear look at the ranching infrastructure and natural water features of the Texas Panhandle before the turn of the 21st century.
