2010 Map of Buckeye

About this map

The Querecho Plains and the prominent escarpment of Mescalero Ridge dominate this corner of the Llano Estacado in the early 21st century. The map reveals an arid landscape defined by its reliance on subterranean water, evidenced by a network of scattered water sources including North Windmill, East Mytie Windmill, and Jenkins Windmill. This rural infrastructure supports cattle operations such as the John Williams Ranch and Buckeye Ranch, which are connected by a grid of unpaved roads and routes like County Rd-125 and the thoroughfare labeled Texas CP. The small settlement of Buckeye sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching community in this high-desert environment.
