About this map

The community of Brand and the northern outskirts of Snyder anchor this survey of the West Texas plains. Located in Scurry County, the landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Ennis Cr, Deep Cr, and Horse Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by a grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 1142 and FM 1231. These roads connect isolated ranching properties and small homesteads, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region.

Near the southern edge of the map, the street layout of Snyder begins to emerge with residential thoroughfares such as N Ave R and N Ave Q. The presence of Kings Highway Pl suggests historical transit corridors that predated modern highway alignments. Researchers can trace the intersection of small-scale agriculture and early 21st-century infrastructure, particularly where local landmarks like Hayes Ranch Rd provide links to family landholdings and the area's ranching heritage.
