2012 Map of Bench Mountain

About this map

Champion and its immediate surroundings are defined by a network of ranch-to-market roads and seasonal watercourses in this high plains region of West Texas. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Bench Mtn and an intricate drainage system including the S Fork Champion Cr and Barnett Cr, which feed into the larger Plum Cr and Big Silver Cr basins. The presence of the Champion Cem near the intersection of FM-1230 and FM-2319 provides a key waypoint for genealogists tracing local families in Nolan County. This map highlights the rural character of the area, where county roads like Co RD-147 and Co RD-134 connect isolated homesteads across a landscape shaped by intermittent creeks and the sprawling West Texas terrain.
