About this map

Sweetwater anchors the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the northern outskirts of the city meet the rolling breaks of the Rolling Plains. The boundary between Fisher Co and Nolan Co bisects the region, dividing a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes that serve the rural community of Busby. Water sources like Ben Jones Spring and the drainage of Dulaney Cr define the local topography, which is marked by a transition from the structured street grid of the city to the expansive ranching and farming terrain to the north.

Transportation history is visible through the alignment of Sante Fe Depot Rd and Old Hwy 70, reflecting the long-standing importance of rail and early highway infrastructure in connecting these central Texas counties. Numerous creeks, including Kildoogan Cr and Plum Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed patterns that have influenced land use and settlement since the area was first established.
