About this map

Coldwater Creek carves a deep, winding path across this portion of the Texas Panhandle, revealing the stark contrast between the dissected drainage breaks and the flat, high plains above. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the map documents a landscape defined by industrial energy extraction and large-scale ranching. Dozens of sites marked Gas Well and Well are scattered across the section lines, connected by an extensive Pipeline network.

Evidence of early habitation and movement appears in more isolated markers. The inclusion of a lone Grave south of the creek and the locality of Hallway along the northern reaches provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. This survey also captures the drainage of Frisco Creek as it approaches the primary valley, illustrating the critical water resources in an otherwise arid grazing territory.
