2019 Map of Benoit

About this map

Benoit and Blanton serve as the primary landmarks in this rural Runnels County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Colorado River basin dictate the layout of roads and ranching boundaries. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal watercourses, including the westward-flowing Mustang Cr and its tributary Middle Mustang Cr, which carve through the undulating plains. To the north, Northington Lake provides a localized water source amidst the network of county roads. The mapping of Norwood Cem and the various "CO RD" designations highlights the enduring rural infrastructure that supports the local agricultural community. Further south, the map details the passage of Live Oak Cr and Butternut Cr, while the geographic feature known as Dry Hollow suggests the intermittent nature of the area's hydrology. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of property lines and access roads that have evolved from early Texas land grants.
