2010 Map of Howards Well NE

About this map

Montgomery Ranch and Pierce Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this Crockett County quadrangle, representing the enduring livestock and ranching heritage of West Texas. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage channels and unpaved roads that connect these isolated homesteads across the arid plains. In the southeast, the holdings of the Childress family are prominent, split between the R Childress Ranch and the W Childress Ranch. This 2010 survey reflects a landscape of vast property lines and sparse settlement, where the infrastructure of the cattle industry—fences, dirt tracks, and remote outbuildings—dictates the human footprint. The map captures the spatial layout of these family-named operations at the start of the 2010s, providing a clear view of the rural land divisions in this part of the state.
