About this map

Morgan Creek carves a complex network of drainage systems across this Howard County landscape, defining the rugged topography that characterizes this part of West Texas. The elevation rises to Flattop Mountain in the eastern portion of the map, a prominent landmark overlooking the surrounding plains. This 2016 survey documents a rural area heavily defined by its ranching infrastructure, where a grid of county roads and more significant thoroughfares like FM 846 and Ranch Road 820 provide access to remote acreage. Seasonal watercourses including Willow Creek and Wildhorse Creek snake through the terrain, indicating the importance of natural drainage in an arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the modern land divisions and road networks that have shaped the county's development into the early 21st century.
