About this map

Benoit and the nearby settlement of Blanton occupy the central plains of Runnels County in this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal waterways and ranching roads, including numerous county roads like Co RD-158 and Co RD-135 that connect isolated homesteads. The drainage pattern is particularly evident through the winding paths of Middle Mustang Creek, Mustang Creek, and Live Oak Creek, which converge as they flow toward the south and east.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Norwood Cemetery tucked away near Middle Mustang Creek, serving as a quiet landmark of the area's rural heritage. The presence of Northington Lake and various smaller stock tanks throughout the quadrangle highlights the importance of water management in this agricultural region. The map also records the corridor of FM-382, which remains a primary artery for the communities of Benoit and Blanton.
