2022 Map of Torrey Peak

About this map

Torrey Peak rises above a highly dissected landscape of the Texas Panhandle, where the erosional power of the Alamosa Creek system has carved deep relief into the high plains. This 2022 survey documents the intricate drainage network of Alamosa Cr and its primary tributaries, including W Alamosa Cr and Middle Alamosa Cr. The terrain is characterized by complex canyon formations, most notably at Torrey Canyon and the expansive breaks known as The Cedar Brakes. These landforms reveal the stark geological transitions of Oldham County, where water is the primary architect of the land. Ranching infrastructure is evident through named water catchments like Big Torrey Tank and Antelope Tank, which are vital in this arid environment. The map also traces more isolated drainages such as Billys Creek and Ledger Cr, providing a precise record of the seasonal watercourses that define the region's topography.
