2012 Map of Gardendale

About this map

The settlement of Gardendale and the nearby crossroads of Scharbauer City anchor this landscape in West Texas, where the transition from residential plots to sprawling ranchland is clearly visible. The area is defined by its extensive network of named water infrastructure, necessary for sustaining livestock and life in this arid climate. Features such as the Circle Bar Ranch and several specifically named wells, including the Mutt Windmill, Ward Windmill, and Steel Tower Windmill, illustrate the logistical realities of the cattle industry. In the residential section of Gardendale, a grid of streets named after local flora—such as N Bluestem Ave, E Buttercup Dr, and E Larkspur Ln—reveals the planned nature of this community. This 2012 survey provides a precise record of these localized landmarks, from Caliche Windmill to the numbered pumping stations that dot the open plains.
