About this map

Henderson Mesa dominates the central landscape of this West Texas terrain, where high-elevation plateaus and deep drainage systems define the geography. The map traces the rugged path of Kokernot Creek Rd as it winds through the western half, following the course of Kokernot Cr through various canyon breaks. The presence of Antelope Tank and several named seasonal waterways like Dutchman Cr and Musquiz Cr highlight the vital importance of water management in this arid region.

Topographical landmarks such as Arkansas Mesa and Polks Peak provide significant orientation points for understanding the local relief. The border between Jeff Davis Co and Brewster Co is visible in the southeastern quadrant, crossing through the watershed near Dutchman Cove. This survey preserves the exact nomenclature of the canyons and peaks used by cattle ranchers and land managers in the twenty-first century.
