About this map

Carlsbad sits at the intersection of local transit and natural waterways in this West Texas landscape. The North Concho River flows through the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, paralleled by Highway 87, which serves as the primary artery connecting the settlement to the surrounding ranchlands. The area is characterized by named family holdings such as the Holiman Ranch and Munn Ranch, indicating a legacy of territorial agriculture and land management.

Drainage patterns are defined by several seasonal watercourses, including Live Oak Creek in the west and the expansive reach of East Rocky Creek further south. The road network reflects a structured rural development, with numerous routes named after local flora and wildlife, such as White Oak Rd, Pin Oak Rd, and Turkey Run. To the southeast, Brushy Creek marks the lower terrain, while the winding Buck Hollow Loop and Deer Valley Dr suggest more recent residential or recreational development within the ranching tradition.
