About this map

Cap Rock stands as a prominent landmark on this 2022 survey, marking the transition where the high plains break into the canyon country of West Texas. This terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Brazos River, with the N Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River and Salt Fork Brazos River carving through the landscape. The map details the complex topography of the escarpment, where elevations shift rapidly across features like Courthouse Mtn and Indian Ridge.

While largely a landscape of watercourses and draws such as Turkey Draw and Red Hollow, the map also documents the rural infrastructure of the region. A network of county roads, including Co RD 207 and Co RD 224, provides access across the Crosby and Garza county line. Local water features like Caddell Lake and Janes-Prentice Lake dot the area, providing critical reference points for land management and local history.
