Cherokee Creek
Cherokee Creek rises in east central Briscoe County (at 34°31' N, 101°03' W) and runs north twelve miles to its mouth on the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River (at 34°37' N, 101°00' W). It was on the JA Ranch properties and gave its name to Cherokee Camp, one of the ranch's twelve winter line camps. The creek crosses variable terrain surfaced by shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.
Deer Creek
Deer Creek rises at the breaks of the Llano Estacado in northwestern Briscoe County (at 34°43' N, 101°24' W) and runs northeast three miles to join the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River in Armstrong County (at 34°46' N, 101°21' W). The creek was in the old Tule division of the JA Ranch and is still partly within the JA properties. It crosses variable terrain surfaced by shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support primarily mesquite and grasses.
Gypsum Creek
Gypsum Creek, also known as Gip Creek, rises in the breaks of southern Armstrong County (at 34°53' N, 101°18' W) and runs south for seven miles to its mouth on the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River, near the Briscoe county line (at 34°45' N, 101°18' W). The area terrain is broken by moderately steep slopes with locally high relief. Soils in the vicinity are made up of shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support rangeland grasses and mesquite. The creek remains part of the JA Ranch.
Hackberry Creek
Hackberry Creek rises in northern Briscoe County (at 34°44' N, 101°10' W) and runs southeast for nine miles to its mouth on the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River (at 34°37' N, 101°01' W). Near the creek's headwaters is the site of the old Woodburn Camp, one of twelve winter camps on the JA Ranch. The creek traverses an area of moderately steep slopes with locally high relief, surfaced by shallow to moderately deep silt loam soils that support mesquite and grasses.
Little Red River
The Little Red River, an intermittent stream, begins at the confluence of its north and south prongs (at 34°27' N, 101°03' W) in the breaks of the Llano Estacado in southeastern Briscoe County. It runs northeast for thirty miles to its mouth (at 34°34' N, 100°36' W) on the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River in central Hall County. The creek traverses flood-prone flat terrain with local shallow depressions. The local clayey and sandy loam soils support water-tolerant hardwoods, conifers, and grasses. The creek was formerly part of the old Quitaque (Lazy F) Ranch owned by Charles Goodnight.
Lone Tree Creek
Lone Tree Creek rises north of the JA Ranch in southeastern Armstrong County (at 34°50' N, 101°11' W) and runs southeast for six miles across part of Donley County to its mouth on Battle Creek, in northeastern Briscoe County (at 34°49' N, 101°02' W). It remains within the JA Ranch boundaries, in an area characterized by gently rolling terrain with shallow loamy soils. The vegetation consists primarily of mesquite and grasses.
