About this map

The drainage basins of the Red Mud Cr and Little Red Mud Cr define this West Texas landscape, where the rolling plains meet the breaks of the Caprock. Situated along the eastern edge of the survey, the town of Spur represents the primary center of activity, connected to the surrounding ranching and farming country by a network of farm-to-market roads like FM 2794 and FM 836. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, most notably at Spade Draw and along the winding courses of Dockum Cr and Spring Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the Red Mud Cem stands as a significant landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map clearly delineates the Dickens Co and Kent Co boundary line, providing a precise spatial context for land records and family histories spanning these two counties. The intricate system of county roads and creek branches, including Grapevine Br and Camp Cr, reveals the enduring rural infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle region.
