Busby lies at the northern edge of this landscape where the high plains of West Texas begin their descent into a network of seasonal drainages. The area is defined by the Fisher Co Nolan Co boundary, a line that cuts across a terrain carved by Kildoogan Creek and Dulaney Creek. This 2016 survey captures a rural environment maintained by a dense grid of county roads, reflecting a long-standing ranching and agricultural framework. To the south, the presence of Ben Jones Spring and Rough Creek suggests the vital importance of water sources in this semi-arid region. The infrastructure includes traces of the area's logistical history, such as Santa Fe Depot Rd, which points to the influence of the railroad on local development and transport near the Nolan County line.
