2012 Map of Dead Indian Mountain

About this map

The Colorado River winds through this Sterling County landscape, which is defined by an extensive network of water management features and isolated peaks. Named summits like Dead Indian Mtn, Snake Mtn, and Wilson Mtn rise above the surrounding terrain, while an intricate system of stock tanks and windmills supports the regional ranching operations. Notable installations include the Lucky Strike Windmill, Old McWhorter Tank, and Harvey Martin Tank. These features, along with names like Nan Hatty Tank and Scudday Tank, provide insight into the land ownership and agricultural history of this West Texas territory. The northern portion of the Jameson Oil Field also appears, indicating the region's intersection of traditional ranching and petroleum extraction. Several county roads, including Mitchell Co RD and Co RD-345, provide access to the remote draws and creek beds of Walnut Cr and N Gasconades Cr.
