About this map

The Salt Fork Red River meanders across this corner of Collingsworth County, carving a wide valley through the Texas Panhandle landscape. In this 2010 depiction, the drainage network is remarkably dense, with tributaries like Indian Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Panther Creek feeding into the main river channel from the north. The area's water management is anchored by the Cason Lake Dam and the resulting reservoir at Cason Lake, which provides a vital water source in this semi-arid ranching region.

Transportation throughout this rural territory follows a rigid grid of county roads, punctuated by Farm to Market routes such as FM 3446 and FM 1981. A critical modern infrastructure point is the US 83 Bridge, which carries the primary north-south highway across the river valley. The map also identifies the Pan Fork, a distinct landform or branch that characterizes the terrain just east of the main bridge crossing.
