About this map

Palo Duro Reservoir dominates this high plains landscape in Hansford County, where the impounded waters of Horse Cr create a dendritic shoreline against the surrounding plateau. The map illustrates a typical Panhandle transition between flat upland agricultural fields and the dissected breaks leading down to the water. A network of rural section-line roads, including Co RD 24 and Co RD 22, provides access to the ranching and farming operations that define the region. In the southwestern portion of the sheet, the natural drainage of Farwell Draw cuts into the terrain, showing the characteristic erosion patterns of the Texas North Plains. Infrastructure such as Farm Rd 3214 and FM 760 serves as the primary transportation arteries connecting these remote cattle and grain producing areas.
