About this map

The Double Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Stonewall County quadrangle, rising above a network of drainages that feed the regional salt forks. In the southern reach of the map, the small settlement of Dorras sits near the intersection of FM 610 and C R 452, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranch and farm land. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal waterways including Stinking Creek in the north and the meandering Nicholson Creek which flows toward the south.

A network of county roads, such as Co RD 433 and C R 410, provides access to the higher elevations and canyons, including Wildcat Canyon in the northern sector. The mapping of the West Fork Salt Creek and East Fork Salt Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of this part of West Texas, where water has carved distinct features into the plains. This 2010 survey reflects a rural landscape where infrastructure is largely defined by the grid of county roads and the natural topography of the mountains.
