2022 Map of Tell South

About this map

The N Pease River meanders across this rural expanse where the boundaries of Hall, Childress, and Cottle counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Running Water Cr, Joe Lake Cr, and Richland Cr, which carve through the plains. The landscape is characterized by a sparse, organized grid of rural routes and ranch roads, such as Ranch RD 94 and Ranch RD 1440, reflecting the region's enduring cattle and agricultural heritage. To the northeast, Devils Cr cuts through the territory near the junction of FM 2042 and several local county roads. This survey illustrates the relationship between the natural watercourses of the Rolling Plains and the human geography of North Texas, where large landholdings are connected by long stretches of unpaved road and designated farm-to-market arteries like FM 94.
