2019 Map of Ira NW

About this map

Borden and Scurry County lines bisect this West Texas landscape, where the seasonal drainages of Red Mud Cr and Bull Cr define the rolling topography. The region's reliance on water management is evident in the numerous named earthen tanks scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Indian Head Tank, Wascomb Tank, and Mesquite Tank. These features, along with Divesion Lake, suggest a ranching-focused economy that has adapted to the arid climate of the Llano Estacado. A network of rural routes, such as Ranch Rd 1610 and FM 1205, connects isolated landholdings. The map documents the persistent ranching infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how modern land management follows the natural contours of Gavett Cr and Moore Cr.
