About this map

Sellers Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this Throckmorton County landscape, overlooking a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle tanks. The drainage systems of Tonk Creek, including its East Fork and West Fork, dictate the local topography alongside Tecumseh Creek and North Elm Creek. The area is characterized by rural ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous water catchments like Ada Tank and Ranger Canyon Tank.

Transportation through this part of North Texas is defined by a sparse grid of ranch-to-market and county roads. Ranch Road 222 serves as a primary north-south artery, connecting with smaller local routes such as Cabin Road, Otts Road, and County Road 140. This 2022 survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where the naming of small tributaries like Horse Creek and Flat Creek reflects a deep-rooted connection to the land's hydrology.
