2010 Map of Burr Oak Creek

About this map

Kickapoo Creek and Burr Oak Creek dominate this landscape in Tom Green County, where the network of drainages defines the rural layout of the region. The map captures the area during a period of steady ranching activity, highlighted by the central location of the Slator Ranch. This ranching footprint is connected by a sparse grid of county roads, including Co RD 2275 and Co RD 2246, which facilitate movement between the various creek basins. The presence of smaller waterways like Frog Pond Creek, Welch Creek, and Brady Creek suggests a terrain shaped by seasonal water flow, essential for the livestock operations that characterize this part of West Texas. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an overview of the property boundaries and land use patterns common in the early 21st century.
