2012 Map of Houston Ranch

About this map

Old Houston Place and the surrounding ranchlands of Glasscock County define this West Texas landscape. The map illustrates a region of dispersed settlement and significant agricultural operations, centered around established family-named properties like Houston Ranch, Stone Ranch, and Cross Ranch. These names reflect the enduring pastoral heritage of the Permian Basin fringe, where large landholdings are connected by a network of rural roads such as Farm Road 307 and Ranch Road 818. To the northeast, the small community of Lomax sits near the intersection of several county routes, providing a rare cluster of development. The topography is largely uniform, though Hog Mtn rises in the southeast corner as a prominent landmark above the surrounding plains. Private access roads and irrigation patterns across the grid suggest the ongoing management of this arid ranching territory.
