2010 Map of Fivemile Creek

About this map

Fivemile Creek and Bull Creek define the drainage patterns of this West Texas landscape in Borden County. The terrain is marked by a network of intermittent stream beds including Crooked Creek, Mesquite Creek, and Red Mud Creek, which illustrate the arid hydrological character of the region. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes such as FM 612 and several family-named thoroughfares like Miller Rd and Wicker Rd. This 2010 survey reflects a largely undeveloped pastoral or ranching environment, where the proximity of Gavett Creek and East Gavett Creek in the northeast corner suggests the subtle topographies typical of the Llano Estacado's edges. The layout of roads and lack of dense settlement points to a landscape maintained for agricultural use and resource management.
