2016 Map of Tate Arroyo

About this map

Tate Arroyo and the expansive Payne Flat dominate this portion of the Texas Panhandle, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The Armstrong and Donley County line divides this terrain, which is characterized by the confluence of numerous watercourses. Principal among these is Mulberry Cr, which gathers tributaries including Boggy Cr, McCullum Cr, and the aptly named Troublesome Cr. To the southwest, Lone Tree Cr and Battle Creek carve through the plains, illustrating the erosion patterns typical of the region's caprock edges. The human presence is marked primarily by a grid of rural routes such as Uniform Rd, Co Rd Z, and Co Rd 29, which facilitate ranching and land access across this open country.
