About this map

Big Spring serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a complex system of draws and ephemeral creeks. The settlement pattern is defined by the intersection of major transit corridors like W FM 700 and Ranch Rd 33, which connect the community to the surrounding Howard County terrain. Notable landmarks such as Scenic Mtn and South Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Big Spring Draw and Elbow Cr, illustrating the rugged topography that shaped the city's development.

To the south, Trinity Memorial Park and the residential area of Webb Village mark the transition toward more open country. The hydrological network is particularly detailed, showing the reach of Comanche Trail Lake and the various forks of Moss Cr. This document provides a clear view of the city's southern expansion and the natural features that have historically influenced life on the edge of the Edwards Plateau.
