About this map

The high plains and broken draws of the Texas Panhandle define this 2010 survey of Whiteflat, situated near the headwaters of the Middle Pease River. The landscape is a network of ranch roads and windmills, including the Rincon Windmill, Cedar Windmill, and Stokes Windmill, which reflect the area's ongoing reliance on groundwater for livestock. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes at Antelope Hill and Connally Peak, while deep cuts in the earth form Lost Canyon and Jesse James Draw.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the larger Horner Lake in the north to Jack Spray Lake and its associated Jack Spray Lake Dam. For genealogists and local historians, the Whiteflat Cemetery remains a central point of interest, located just southwest of the primary settlement. The map also traces several named drainages like Tom Handle Creek and Shinnery Draw, which feed into the intermittent river system of the southern Plains.
