2013 Map of Brady SW

About this map

Brady Reservoir anchors the northern boundary of this McCulloch County landscape, where the southern outskirts of Brady meet a vast ranching and water management network. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of earthen dams, including Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir and Site 6, reflecting mid-century efforts to control runoff and manage water in this semi-arid region. Scattered across the draws and hollows are numerous named water sources essential to local livestock operations, such as Truman Windmill, Double Well Windmill, and Sulphur Windmill. The drainage patterns of Bear Cr and Little Bear Cr carve through the geography, while named landforms like Crooked Hollow and Fivemile Hollow provide clear markers for navigating the open country southwest of the county seat.
