2022 Map of Double Mountains

About this map

Double Mountains rise as the most prominent topographic landmark in this section of Stonewall County, dominating the landscape south of Wildcat Canyon. The map reveals a complex drainage network that defines the region, where numerous named seasonal and permanent streams such as Stinking Creek and Nicholson Creek dissect the terrain. To the east, the headwaters of the Brazos River system begin to take shape with the convergence of West Fork Salt Creek, East Fork Salt Creek, and Salt Creek. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a remote landscape characterized by ranching roads and farm-to-market infrastructure, specifically FM 610, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the area's continued use for large-scale land operations and natural drainage management.
