This page uses Wichita Falls as the main urban reference for a Wichita County Texas Map, then follows the highway network northwest toward Iowa Park and Electra and north toward Burkburnett. Download the high-resolution A3 JPG map ZIP from the box below when you need printable or editable files; it contains separate county-reference, ranked-city, terrain-and-water, and elevation maps.
Wichita County has a strong contrast between its western uplands and the lower river corridors on the north, south, and east. Wichita Falls occupies the southeastern urban area, Iowa Park lies northwest along the route 287 corridor, Burkburnett is near the northeastern Red River side, and Electra sits close to the western county edge. The water layer shows the Red River tracing the irregular northern boundary while Wichita River crosses the lower southern interior. The elevation map explains why those river corridors appear lower than the western half.

Wichita Falls connects the Iowa Park and Burkburnett road corridors
Wichita Falls is the easiest place to locate first on the county reference map. Route 287 runs northwest toward Iowa Park and continues in the Electra direction, while routes 277 and 281 provide the strongest northbound references toward Burkburnett. Route 82 is labeled near the southern edge, and routes 25 and 258 help orient the southwestern part of the county.
Iowa Park lies between Wichita Falls and Electra, so it works well as a midpoint for the western road corridor. Burkburnett forms a separate northeastern cluster close to the Red River side, with Cashion Community nearby to the southeast. Sheppard AFB Airport is also labeled north of Wichita Falls, providing another visible reference between the main southeastern city and the Burkburnett area.
The stream network fills much of the rural space between those road corridors. Numerous tributaries descend toward the Red River in the north and the Wichita River system farther south. The northern boundary bends repeatedly with the river, while much of the southern boundary is comparatively straight. That difference gives the reference map a strong natural-boundary character on the north side.
Six ranked places show Wichita Falls far ahead of the rest
The ranked-city map highlights Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park, Electra, Pleasant Valley, and Cashion Community. Wichita Falls is number 1 in the southeast, Burkburnett is number 2 in the northeast, and Iowa Park is number 3 farther west. Electra ranks fourth near the western edge, while Pleasant Valley and Cashion Community are smaller fifth- and sixth-ranked references closer to the Wichita Falls–Burkburnett side.
The CITY INDEX prints map values of 102,581 for Wichita Falls, 11,059 for Burkburnett, 6,578 for Iowa Park, 2,351 for Electra, 357 for Pleasant Valley, and 309 for Cashion Community. These figures explain the ranking and relative symbol display used in the supplied graphic and should not be treated as guaranteed current population estimates. For geographic use, the clear point is the large scale difference between Wichita Falls and every other ranked place.
County labels around the map add a useful regional frame. Wilbarger County lies to the west, Baylor and Archer counties are south and southwest, and Clay County is to the east. With those references visible, Electra’s near-western position, Wichita Falls’s southeastern location, and Burkburnett’s near-northeastern edge become much easier to recognize.
Red River and Wichita River define two very different water corridors
Red River is the dominant northern water reference. It follows the county’s irregular north boundary in a series of broad bends, while Wildhorse Creek reaches toward it from the north-central interior. Gilbert Creek lies farther south and extends eastward through another lower corridor before approaching the eastern side.
Wichita River is the main southern waterway. It enters from the west, winds across the lower central county, and continues east, where the Big Wichita River label appears. North Wichita Canal is marked close to the river in the central-southern interior, and Horseshoe Lake sits near one of the river bends. Together these features make the southern drainage corridor easy to trace.
The west-central map contains South Fork Buffalo Creek and a North Fork Buffalo Creek Reservoir label. Lake Iowa Park and Gordon Lake provide smaller water references around the Iowa Park and central area, while Lake Wichita is visible beyond the southeastern county boundary. China Creek is also labeled in the northwest. The county’s water geography is therefore best understood as a network between the Red River and Wichita River systems rather than as one large lake-centered landscape.
This layer is intended for geographic water and terrain reference rather than flood-risk analysis, navigation, water depth, parcel boundaries, or water-management decisions. Its main value here is to show how the Red River shapes the northern edge, how the Wichita River crosses the southern half, and how smaller tributaries and lakes fit between those two larger systems.
Western high ground descends toward river valleys and the eastern side
The elevation map reports an actual range of about 279 to 379 meters and a mean elevation of 319 meters. The darkest brown high terrain is concentrated along the west and northwest, with several ridges extending into the west-central interior. Broad green lower terrain follows the Red River side in the north and covers much of the eastern half, while the Wichita River forms another low corridor across the south.
The western uplands are rolling rather than uniformly flat. Numerous narrow tributary valleys cut into the higher ground and open toward the main river systems. Moving east from the Electra side, brown and tan terrain gradually shifts into greener lower surfaces. Wichita Falls and the southeastern urban area also sit lower than much of the western half, matching the nearby river and drainage network.
This countywide elevation surface is designed for broad terrain comparison rather than parcel surveying, engineering, or construction design. It is useful for seeing why the Electra side is higher, where the Red River and Wichita River valleys are lower, and how the terrain changes toward Wichita Falls and the east. Exact site elevation should be checked with detailed source data or a local survey.
Choose the view by whether roads, city ranking, rivers, or relief matters most
Use the county reference map when Wichita Falls, Iowa Park, Burkburnett, Electra, road labels, and the county boundary need to appear together. The ranked-city view is cleaner for comparing the six major mapped places. The terrain-and-water layer is the best place to trace Red River, Wichita River, Wildhorse Creek, and the named lakes, while the elevation map makes the western uplands and lower river corridors easiest to compare.
The downloadable ZIP contains four separate high-resolution A3 JPG files for Wichita County: county reference, ranked city, terrain and water, and elevation. You can inspect the lighter WebP versions in the article first and then use the larger JPG files for printing, classroom material, presentations, or an editable local-reference document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Burkburnett and Iowa Park compared with Wichita Falls?
Burkburnett is north to northeast of Wichita Falls on the supplied maps, while Iowa Park is northwest. Electra lies farther west beyond Iowa Park, so the three places form useful references for the northern and western road corridors.
Which rivers are easiest to identify in Wichita County?
Red River is the strongest northern boundary reference, and Wichita River is the main southern waterway. Wildhorse Creek, Gilbert Creek, South Fork Buffalo Creek, and several named lakes are also visible on the terrain-and-water map.
What elevation range is shown for Wichita County?
The supplied elevation map states an actual range of about 279 to 379 meters and a mean elevation of 319 meters. The west and northwest are higher, while the Red River and Wichita River valleys and much of the east are lower.
