2016 Map of Belding NE

About this map

Lake Léon and the surrounding basin of Léon Springs anchor the southeastern corner of this West Texas landscape. The terrain is defined by broad ephemeral drainages, including Cato Draw in the west and Acebuche Draw near the lake, illustrating the natural water catchment patterns of the Chihuahuan Desert. The map reveals a high-desert environment where infrastructure and land use are shaped by the availability of water and the orientation of historic ranching corridors. Transport through the region centers on the intersection of the I 10 Svc Rd and Cr 4839, with Ranch Rd 1776 cutting a straight line across the northern plateau. The inclusion of Firestone Rd suggests industrial or testing activity in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open rangeland and subtle elevation shifts.
