About this map

The Borden Co and Howard Co border defines this West Texas landscape, where the upper reaches of the Colorado River and the western edge of Lake J B Thomas dominate the drainage system. This is ranching country, evidenced by the high density of named water catchments such as Bull Pasture Tank, Whitaker Field Tank, and the uniquely named Mother-in-Law Tank. The terrain is marked by prominent breaks and drainage features like Red Bluffs and Hackberry Draw, which channel seasonal water toward the larger river basin. Genealogy researchers will find Fairview Cem located near Ranch Rd 1785, a critical landmark for tracing family roots in this sparsely populated region. The map captures a traditional land-use pattern where localized water management, signified by Sand Rock Tank and Horseshoe Tank, supports agriculture across the varied elevations of Cedar Point.
