About this map

The confluence of the North Wichita River and South Wichita River defines this rolling landscape in North Texas. This 2019 survey captures the drainage patterns of the upper Wichita River as it winds through several drainage channels including Soap Cr and Crooked Cr. The terrain is characterized by intricate breaks and draws, notably Rose Hollow Cr, which contribute to the river system's complex hydrology.

Settlement is sparse, with the landscape dominated by rural roads such as Cedar Top Rd and Arledge Rd that navigate the divide between river bottoms and uplands. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Henson Cem in the southeastern quadrant serves as a significant marker of early residents in this frontier region where the boundaries of Knox, Foard, and Baylor counties meet. The small impoundment at Peacock Lake further illustrates local water management in this arid environment.
