About this map

Fivemile Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this section of the West Texas plains in Borden County. The landscape is characterized by a series of drainages, including Bull Creek and Crooked Creek, which have carved subtle relief into the terrain over generations. These waterways are essential features in an area dominated by large-scale ranching and land management, where water sources dictated the placement of early infrastructure.

Transportation routes such as Miller Road and Gray Road provide access through the open country, connecting isolated points of interest like Four Mile Road. The presence of Mesquite Creek and Red Mud Creek further illustrates the hydrological patterns that have shaped local land use. This survey captures the spatial relationship between these natural features and the rural road network, offering a detailed perspective on the geography of this sparsely populated ranching territory.
