Three Leagues occupies the northern expanse of this West Texas landscape, an area defined by its arid basins and vital mineral springs. This 2019 survey captures the essential hydrography of the Llano Estacado, where Alkali Lake sits at the center of a drainage network that supported early ranching and travel. The presence of Soda Springs to the northeast and Sulphur Springs in the southeast highlights the importance of localized water sources in a region dominated by a precise grid of county roads. These road networks, such as Fm 829 and Fm 2002, follow the geometric parceling typical of the Permian Basin's agricultural and industrial development. For those tracing the evolution of Martin County, the map provides a clear record of the intersection between historic spring locations and modern transportation corridors like Farm Rd 2002-E.
