2012 Map of Bob Creek

About this map

King County’s ranching landscape is defined by the ephemeral water sources and drainage networks that crisscross this West Texas terrain. The 2012 survey highlights the importance of managed water in an arid environment, documenting features like Brushy Tank, Negro Tank, and the larger Springer Lake. Waterways such as Bob Cr, Brushy Cr, and Pen Br carve the land, while the presence of Martin Ranch and Parramore Ranch Lake illustrates the continuing legacy of large-scale cattle operations in the region. For those tracing family ties to this remote part of the Panhandle, the Gilkerson Cem stands as a significant genealogical marker near Co RD-427.
