2010 Map of Tate Arroyo

About this map

Tate Arroyo and the broad expanse of Payne Flat characterize this portion of Armstrong County, defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage pattern is led by Mulberry Creek, which draws in numerous tributaries including Boggy Creek, Halls Creek, and the aptly named Troublesome Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a landscape largely dedicated to ranching and open range, where human presence is marked primarily by a sparse grid of rural routes such as Uniform Rd, Co Rd Z, and Co Rd X. The convergence of Lone Tree Creek and Battle Creek in the southwest further illustrates the dissected terrain typical of the Texas Panhandle's canyon-rim country, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the region before these waters reach the lower plains.
