About this map

Crawford Slide dominates the northwest corner of this West Texas terrain, where the undulating landscape of the Edwards Plateau meets the drainage basins of the Colorado River watershed. The boundary between Sterling Co and Coke Co cuts vertically through the center of the sheet, dividing a region defined by complex canyon systems like Pierce Canyon, Grubs Canyon, and Goat Canyon. This is a landscape shaped by intermittent water and early energy infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Spring labels and the presence of a Pumping Sta and various pipelines traversing the ridges.

Evidence of local travel and rural life appears in the south, where a Roadside Park sits near the confluence of Pecan Creek and Kates Creek. For family historians, the presence of a small Cem and named landmarks like James Field Mountain provide specific points of reference in a territory primarily utilized for ranching and resource extraction, as indicated by scattered Well sites and a Drill Hole.
