Holloway Canyon cuts through the high plains of Borden County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and sparse ranching infrastructure. This 2012 survey illustrates the importance of water management in West Texas through features like Johnson Tank and County Tank, which serve as vital collection points for livestock in an arid environment. The drainage network is clearly articulated, with Mesquite Cr and Grape Cr winding toward larger features like West Draw and Salt Cr in the south. The road network reflects the vast ranching tracts of the region, anchored by named routes like Muleshoe Rd and FM-1054. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace the orientation of large properties through the grid of county roads, including Co RD-124 and Co RD-127, which provide access to the remote breaks of Rock Canyon.
