2022 Map of Sloop Creek

About this map

The southeastern edge of Wichita Falls transitions into the cattle ranching and reservoir-dotted landscape of Archer and Clay counties in this 2022 survey. The urban-rural boundary is sharply defined by the presence of Kickapoo Downtown Airport and the commercial corridor along US Highway 281. Further south and east, the map reveals a complex system of private water management and drainage, with numerous ranch-owned bodies of water such as McGregor Ranch Lake Number 1 and McGregor Ranch Lake Number 2. These features, along with Sloop Cr and Lake Cr, provide critical irrigation and livestock water for the sprawling agricultural operations. The eastern edge of the quadrangle touches the northwestern shoreline of Lake Arrowhead, a significant regional reservoir that dictates the local topography and road networks, including FM 1954.
