About this map

The Middle Concho River winds through this Irion County landscape, anchoring a ranching region defined by intermittent drainages and elevated plateaus. The small settlement of Arden is the primary point of interest, situated near the Arden Cem and the junction of FM 853 and Co RD 420. The terrain is deeply incised by several seasonal watercourses, including W Rocky Cr, Dry Rocky Cr, and Dry Cr, which carve through the high ground in the northern and western sections of the map.

Local transportation is dominated by a network of ranch-to-market and county roads that follow the natural contours of the river valley and upland basins. Family and local history can be traced through named routes such as Funk Ranch Rd, Woehl Rd, and Bates Rd, reflecting the established landholdings in this part of West Texas. The contrast between the broad river bottom and the surrounding mesas highlights the importance of water access in this semi-arid environment.
