About this map

The N Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves a striking path through this section of the High Plains, creating the dramatic geological features of Yellow House Canyon and Long Hollow Canyon. This landscape is defined by its ranching heritage and the grid of rural roads that support it, with several established family operations such as Forest Ranch, Wood Ranch, and the V Ranch situated near the canyons and creeks.

On the western edge of the map, the outskirts of Slaton begin to appear, including development along Slaton Rd and Slaton Plz. Drainage from the higher plains flows into the Brazos River system via Spring Cr and Harvey Cr, showing the essential relationship between the seasonal water sources and the local ranching economy. The map provides a precise view of the South Plains road network, featuring numerous county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM-2150.
