2012 Map of Cold Creek Spring

About this map

Cold Creek Spring and the nearby Mill Spring define the water resources of this Tom Green County landscape, situated where the Edwards Plateau begins to influence the drainage of the Concho River basin. The geography is characterized by the S Concho River and its intricate South Concho Irrigation Canal system, which reflects the historical dependence on managed water for agriculture in West Texas. Landmarks like Sulphur Windmill and Turkey Windmill indicate the continued importance of groundwater for ranching operations across the terrain surrounding Burks Cr. The road network, including Head of the River Rd and Ranch Road 2335, connects scattered residences and ranch sites, while Allen Hill provides a distinct topographical reference point in an area defined by winding creeks and intermittent draws.
