About this map

Narcisso sits at the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the drainage systems of the Tongue River and Middle Pease River carve a complex network of canyons and draws through the plains. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Devils Canyon and Red Hills Canyon, which interrupt the cattle-grazing country of Cottle County. This 2010 survey highlights a ranching economy dependent on dispersed water sources, evidenced by the high density of named landmarks like Turkey Tank and numerous cattle-tending stations.

A network of local roads including Co RD 109 and Co RD 108 connects the remote rangeland, providing access to essential infrastructure such as North Salt Creek Windmill, Motto Windmill, and Bull Pasture Windmill. Other significant watercourses, including China Creek, Salt Creek, and Mesa Creek, further illustrate the vital role of seasonal hydrology and groundwater management in sustaining the area's agricultural operations.
