About this map

Bronte serves as the primary hub for this West Texas landscape, where the town site is bounded by the winding course of Kickapoo Creek and the shores of Old City Lake. The area's history is anchored by the historic site of Fort Chadbourne and its namesake Fort Chadbourne Cemetery to the north. This 2010 survey highlights a region shaped by petroleum extraction and water management, with the Rawlings Oil Field and Bronte Oil Field marking the industrial presence.

A network of soil conservation reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir, are distributed across the drainage basins of Middle Kickapoo Creek and West Kickapoo Creek. High points like Jones Peak, Nipple Peak, and Kickapoo Mountain provide a rugged backdrop to the local cattle tanks and ranching infrastructure, such as the Edward Rawling Lower Tank.
