2022 Map of West of Brickel

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in the northwestern corner of the Texas Panhandle. The terrain is characterized by broad plateaus deeply incised by the drainage of Coldwater Cr and its tributaries, such as Red Cow Draw. These ephemeral watercourses create a distinct relief against the surrounding flat ranchlands of Dallam County. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where a grid of long-distance roads like E High Lonesome Ln and Rock Hill Rd provides access to scattered ranch sites and public grazing lands. The map details the specific parcels of protected grassland, interspersed with private holdings, reflecting the unique patchwork management of the National Grasslands system in this semi-arid environment.
