2012 Map of South Fork Sulphur Draw

About this map

Dean Ranch stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of Cochran County, reflecting the enduring legacy of large-scale cattle ranching and land management in the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral passage of the South Fork Sulphur Draw, a drainage feature that meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure, where local routes like CO Hwy-240 and CO Hwy-260 intersect with state-maintained roads including FM-1585 and FM-301. The map reveals the transition between open range and the systematic division of agricultural tracts, providing a clear view of the modern land-use patterns that have shaped this region of West Texas.
