2010 Map of Hext

About this map

Hext anchors the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of Menard County defines the patterns of ranching and movement. The map is marked by numerous vital water sources and drainage features, such as McDougal Spring, Indian Spring, and Franklin Spring, which historically supported the local economy. A network of draws and creeks, including Rolston Draw, Mud Seep Draw, and the winding Fivemile Creek, cut through the terrain toward Leon Creek in the southeast. The rural character is underscored by landmark names like the High Lonesome Windmill, reflecting the isolation and resourcefulness required in this environment. Local roads such as WPA Rd and Erna Rd connect the scattered ranch lands, while topographical features like Holland Draw and Muskhog Hollow provide a detailed look at the area's natural drainage before reaching larger basins.
