2012 Map of Wheeler SE

About this map

The N Fork Red River meanders through this portion of Wheeler County, carving a wide bed across the Texas Panhandle. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Sand Cr and Bronco Cr feed into the primary river valley. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, Wardlow Lake provides a rare stationary water feature near the junction of Cole Cr and Finley Cr. The human footprint is marked by a rigid grid of section-line roads, including Fm-592 and Fm-3075, which navigate the subtle elevation changes of the high plains. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and ranching layout of the region, where the intersection of natural hydrology and a strictly surveyed road system dictates the movement across the territory.
