2010 Map of Hog Mountain

About this map

The small community of Marie serves as the focal point for this rural Runnels County landscape, where agriculture and cattle ranching are supported by a network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Oak Creek and Hog Creek, which carve through the plains and give rise to the local landmark of Hog Mountain. The land is gridded by a dense network of county roads and farm-to-market routes, including FM 384, which connect scattered homesteads to larger regional hubs. Notable natural features such as Bowen Draw, Dry Hollow, and Wagon Tire Creek illustrate the water-dependent nature of this West Texas territory. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region in the early 21st century, showing how modern ranching infrastructure like Windmill Rd and Engert Rd overlays the historic natural topography.
