2010 Map of Collett Springs

About this map

Collett Springs and the surrounding rangelands east of Crosbyton Municipal Airport reveal a landscape defined by water management and livestock ranching. This portion of the Texas High Plains is characterized by a network of intermittent drainages including Sand Rock Creek, Blue Hole Creek, and Yankee Creek, all converging toward the White River corridor. The geography is punctuated by isolated topographic landmarks such as Indian Hill, Cedar Hill, and Negro Hill. Human presence is marked by a series of functionally named windmills and catchments, including Spindle Top Windmill, Dry Trap Windmill, and Rock Trail Tank. These features, along with a grid of rural ranch roads like Ranch Rd 651, illustrate the infrastructure required for agricultural survival in this semi-arid environment.
