About this map

Torrey Peak rises above the drainage networks of Oldham County, anchoring a landscape defined by the intricate erosion of Torrey Canyon and Little Torrey Canyon. This 2016 survey documents the complex hydrological patterns of the Texas Panhandle, where seasonal water management is critical for ranching and land use. The map illustrates a network of essential water sources including Big Torrey Tank, Torrey Tank, and Antelope Tank, which serve as vital points in an otherwise arid terrain.

The winding courses of Alamosa Cr, Middle Alamosa Cr, and W Alamosa Cr dominate the central and northern sections, while the southeastern corner is marked by The Cedar Brakes. These geographic features, along with smaller tributaries like Billys Cr, Bradley Cr, and Ledger Cr, reveal the natural contours of the land in a region where the interplay of elevation and water flow dictates the character of the environment.
