2012 Map of Burnt Canyon

About this map

Burnt Canyon gives its name to this high-plains landscape in Crockett County, where the infrastructure of West Texas ranching and water management is etched across the terrain. Vital water sources are marked by the presence of Clay Tank, Clay Tank Windmill, and Little Windmill, reflecting the critical importance of reliable hydration in this semi-arid environment. The transportation network is defined by several remote county routes, including Dunlap Rd and Hoover Divide Rd, which navigate the subtle drainage patterns and canyon systems. This 2012 topographic survey documents a persistent ranching frontier, where naming conventions like East Windmill speak to the practical necessities of identifying landmark locations across a sparsely populated area.
