About this map

Red Mud Cr and its tributaries define the drainage of this West Texas landscape along the border of Dickens and Kent counties. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, particularly around Spade Draw and the various branches feeding the primary creek system. Water management is a visible priority in this semi-arid region, anchored by the Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir in the northeastern portion of the sheet.

A network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 2794 and FM 261, provides the primary transit corridors through this rural expanse. These routes link remote ranching and agricultural tracts, while smaller county roads like Co RD 419 and Co RD 500 follow the section lines and natural contours of the land. The map illustrates a typical Rolling Plains environment where the seasonal flows of Grapevine Br and Spring Cr have carved distinct paths through the elevation contours.
