About this map

Marie sits as a central point of reference in this landscape of the Texas Rolling Plains, where agricultural land and ranching interests are etched into a grid of county roads. The terrain is defined by natural drainage systems and low-lying elevations, most notably the prominent Hog Mtn in the southwest and the winding paths of Oak Cr and Hog Cr. These waterways, along with Wagon Tire Cr, dictate the placement of ranch boundaries and early transportation routes.

A network of local infrastructure connects the sparse settlements, highlighted by Ranch Road 384 and Farm-To-Market Road 383. Land features like Bowen Draw and Dry Hollow illustrate the seasonal nature of the West Texas hydrology. This map provides a look at the rural organization of Runnels County in the early 21st century, showing how modern land management follows the contours of the original Texas landscape.
