About this map

Beals Cr and its various tributaries carve through this portion of Mitchell County, defining a landscape shaped by water management in a semi-arid region. The map reveals a network of livestock or water storage features such as Meteor Tank, Vowell Tank, and Calf Cr Tank, which are essential to the local ranching economy. Central to the area is Tom Neff Lake, a notable local landmark situated near the junction of several drainage systems, including Hackberry Cr and Dry Hollow Cr.

Transportation in this part of Texas is defined by rural corridors like Ranch Road 2183 and various county routes such as Co RD 369, which provide access to the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands. The drainage patterns of Mustang Cr and Forest Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle further illustrate the complex natural irrigation of the West Texas plains as documented in this early 21st-century survey.
