About this map

Turkey sits as the central hub of this Panhandle landscape, where the street grid is clearly defined by routes like Main St and Estelline Ave at the junction of Highway 70 and Highway 86. The map reveals a transition from the structured town life to the broken terrain of the Rolling Plains to the north. Extensive water management is evident through a series of named tanks and catchments, including Old Cottonwood Tank, Bell Tank, and Timmons Tank, which support the ranching economy in this arid environment.

The northern half of the sheet is dominated by the erosive work of the Little Red River and its numerous tributaries like Hackberry Cr and Lost Mule Cr. These waterways have carved deep relief into the land, creating named features such as Pole Canyon and Gyp Canyon. To the southeast, the small settlement of Wolf Flat appears along FM 3323, while the boundary between Briscoe and Hall counties bisects the rugged drainage basins.
