2016 Map of Fivemile Creek

About this map

Fivemile Creek cuts through this rural landscape of Borden County, defining a region where dry creek beds and ranch roads create a distinct western Texas pattern. The drainage network is dense for such an arid environment, with Bull Cr and Crooked Cr feeding into the central basin. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of local infrastructure, where long-established routes like Four Mile Rd and Miller Rd follow the section lines of the survey grid. The eastern edge of the map features the upper reaches of Gavett Cr and its tributary E Gavett Cr, while Red Mud Cr appears in the southeast. This document is a clear record of the high plains topography and the enduring rural road system that supports the local ranching economy.
