2022 Map of Smithdale

About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River dominates this portion of Childress County, carving a wide path across the landscape where intermittent drainage systems converge. These northern Texas plains are defined by seasonal watercourses like Gypsum Cr and Salt Cr, which feed into the primary riverbed. A network of rural county roads, including Co RD 11 and Co RD 16, grid the territory, providing access to the remote ranchlands that characterize the region's economy. The topography reveals the subtle but complex drainage patterns south of the river, where Conkline Cr and Whites Cr wind through the breaks. This 2022 survey captures the modern road infrastructure, such as Ranch Rd 2465, superimposed over a timeless landscape of river forks and wide, open Texas country.
