2010 Map of West of Brickel

About this map

Coldwater Creek winds through the high plains of Dallam County in this 2010 survey of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the geometric precision of the Great Plains grid system, where long stretches of road like E High Lonesome Ln and Rock Hill Rd divide the territory into massive agricultural and grazing tracts. Water management is a central theme of the topography, evidenced by Reynolds Dam which contains the waters of Reynolds Lake against the flat horizon. To the northwest, the natural drainage of Red Cow Draw provides a rare deviation from the straight-line human architecture of Willard Ln and other local cattle-country arteries. This map reflects the modern state of one of the most sparsely populated corners of the state, focusing on the infrastructure that supports the region's large-scale ranching and farming operations.
