About this map

Woodburn Place and several remote outposts define this high-plains landscape in Briscoe County, where the drainage network of the Texas Panhandle carves deep into the terrain. The map detail centers on the namesake Willow Arroyo and the winding course of Battle Cr, which is fed by Lone Tree Cr as it flows toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This area represents a rugged ranching and hunting environment, marked by seasonal camps such as Hackberry Camp and Timber Lake Camp rather than traditional town centers.

The topography is dominated by the Stinkhole Divide, a prominent natural boundary between the various creek systems including Hackberry Cr, Rough Cr, and Marshall Cr. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of local routes like CO Road SS, reflecting the isolated nature of these cattle-country highlands. For those tracing the history of Panhandle ranching, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named places and historical water sources like Love Arroyo.
