About this map

The Divide forms a prominent topographic feature across this portion of Nolan County, marking the high ground between numerous drainage systems that carve through the Texas landscape. The territory is defined by a dense network of seasonal watercourses, including Oak Cr, Pecan Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, which have shaped the local relief into a complex series of draws and ridges. Settlement patterns are sparse, primarily linked by a grid of rural routes such as Co RD 180 and Co RD 236. For genealogists and local historians, the Decker Cem provides a significant point of interest, standing as a quiet landmark amidst the expansive ranching or agricultural tracts. The map also traces more remote waterways like Cas Russell Cr and Salt Cr, illustrating the fundamental role of hydrography in defining land use and property boundaries in this part of West Texas.
