About this map

Beaver River and Frisco Creek wind across this part of the Texas Panhandle, defining the sparse drainage patterns of the high plains north of Stratford. The landscape is dominated by a rigid geometric grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, such as Beaver Rd and Wylie Rd, which reflect the systematic agricultural partitioning of Sherman County.

This 2011 survey captures a moment when the vast acreage of the region was connected by an extensive network of county roads including Co Rd E, Co Rd F, and Co Rd G. These routes serve as the primary infrastructure for the remote farmsteads and ranching operations that characterize this corner of Texas near the Oklahoma border. The map provides a clear look at how human travel and irrigation routes have adapted to the subtle changes in elevation near the riverbeds.
