2012 Map of Sourdough Creek

About this map

Sourdough Cr carves a path through this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. This high-plains terrain is marked by the presence of numerous named drainages, including Dugout Cr and Picketts Ranch Cr, which suggest a long history of water management in a semi-arid environment. The road network is primarily composed of county routes like Co RD-16 and Co RD-17, supporting the movement of livestock and agricultural goods. The presence of Leslie Ranch Rd highlights the enduring legacy of large-scale landholdings in Ochiltree County. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of natural hydrology and human transit, where FM-281 serves as a primary artery across a network of ranch lands and creek beds.
