About this map

The settlement of Acampo anchors this ranching landscape in Shackelford County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways. Water management is a central theme of this 2010 survey, as seen in the presence of McCarty Lake and the various tributaries feeding into larger basins. Notable watercourses include North Fork Salt Prong Hubbard Creek in the northeast and Flat Rock Creek meandering through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Transportation through these rural reaches is facilitated by a mix of state routes and ranch roads, such as Chimney Creek Ranch Rd and Albany Lake Rd. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of West Texas, where large landholdings are served by long-reaching drainages like Chimney Creek, Bluff Creek, and Long Creek. This topographic record provides a clear picture of the hydraulic and transit infrastructure supporting the cattle and oil country at the start of the 21st century.
