2012 Map of Barnhart NE

About this map

Cedar Hill rises over an arid landscape dominated by ranching infrastructure and water-management features in Irion County. The map reveals the critical importance of localized water sources in this part of West Texas, documented through a dense network of named windmills such as Baze Windmill, Brooks Windmill, and Fivemile Windmill. These landmarks serve as vital navigational points across a terrain otherwise defined by drainage patterns like Spring Cr and the convergent paths of West Dutch Woman Draw and East Dutch Woman Draw. Transportation is primarily limited to rural routes, including Dutchwoman Rd and Co Rd 131, which connect the scattered agricultural operations. The naming of features like Shearing Pen Windmill and Caliche Windmill provides a window into the specific materials and ranching activities that have sustained this region into the early 21st century.
