About this map

Benoit and Blanton anchor this rural landscape in Runnels County, illustrating a classic West Texas pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, including Mustang Creek, Middle Mustang Creek, and Hog Creek, which carve through the land before feeding into larger drainages. These creek beds and hollows, such as Dry Hollow and Wire Hollow, dictate the placement of county roads and the boundaries of large landholdings.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the Norwood Cemetery, located east of the main road networks. Infrastructure is focused on water management and transportation, featuring Northington Lake and its associated Northington Lake Dam in the northern portion of the map. The grid of county roads, such as Co RD 164 and Co RD 131, connects the isolated farmsteads and small communities that have sustained this region for generations.
