2022 Map of Soap Creek

About this map

The confluence of the North Wichita River and South Wichita River forms the main stem of the Wichita River at the intersection of Baylor, Knox, and Foard counties. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic movement of these waterways and their smaller tributaries like Soap Cr and Crooked Cr. While much of the land remains open, human presence is traced through a grid of rural roads and specific landmarks like Peacock Lake. To the south, the solitary Hanson Cem provides a point of genealogical interest along Co Rd 140, serving as a silent anchor for family history in this cattle and ranching region of North Texas. The map illustrates how transportation routes like FM 1919 and FM 2069 navigate the breaks and drainage basins of the river system.
