2019 Map of Haystack Mountain

About this map

Haystack Mtn rises above a landscape defined by significant water management and erosion control in this Dickens County region. The terrain is marked by a complex network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of Duck Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which are supported by numerous mid-century infrastructure projects. The presence of multiple engineered features, such as Grade Stabilization Structure Ca-1 Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, illustrates a concerted effort to manage soil conservation and runoff across the drainage basins. These structures, alongside uniquely named landforms like Hobble Scobble Canyon, provide a clear picture of the land-use priorities in this part of West Texas, where ranching roads like FM 193 and Co RD 109 provide the primary access to these remote topographical features.
