About this map

The town of Benjamin serves as the focal point for this Knox County survey, showing a structured grid of streets including Weatherly St, Core St, and Divide St. The landscape south of the settlement is defined by an extensive network of artificial water catchments and ranching infrastructure, punctuated by named features such as Quintana Tank, Jackson Tank, and Jamison Tank. These water sources, along with Lake Benjamin and the larger Lake Davis, are critical nodes in a region where seasonal drainage like Dutchman Cr and Gyp Cr carve through the plains.

Agricultural and ranching heritage is evident in the presence of established holdings like the Hamilton Ranch and League Ranch. At the southern edge of the quadrangle, the Brazos River provides a natural boundary, crossed by the State Highway 16 Bridge. The map details a transition from the civic layout of the town to the wide-reaching ranch roads and private lanes that facilitate movement across this West Texas terrain.
