About this map

Colorado River frontage and high-desert mesas dominate this landscape at the intersection of Mitchell, Sterling, and Coke counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Dead Indian Mtn and Snake Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including Heifer Cr and Westfall Draw.

Evidence of ranching infrastructure is pervasive, with numerous named catchments like Harvey Martin Tank, Old McWhorter Tank, and Pyramid Tank distributed across the plains. These features, along with the distinct paths of Gasconades Cr and its tributaries, illustrate the necessity of managed water sources in this arid West Texas environment. The sparse road network, including FM 2742 and several county roads, navigates between prominent peaks like Wilson Mtn, providing access to this remote ranchland.
