2019 Map of Big Spring North NE

About this map

Flattop Mtn stands as a prominent elevation in this north-central Texas landscape, overlooking a series of drainage systems that define the area's hydrology. The sheet captures the intricate winding of Morgan Creek through the central and eastern sections, while Wildhorse Creek and Willow Creek navigate the surrounding terrain. This is a region defined by its ranching infrastructure and rural transport network, where a grid of county roads and specific routes like Ranch Rd 820 and FM 846 connect isolated homesteads and parcels. The topographic detail reveals a complex system of draws and breaks leading toward the creeks, illustrating the erosional patterns common in this part of Howard County. Researchers can examine the interplay between these natural watercourses and the established livestock-scale land management systems of the late 2010s.
