About this map

The Martin Co / Howard Co line bisects this West Texas landscape, where the open terrain is defined by seasonal watercourses and dispersed ranch roads. The presence of Knott Cem in the northern portion of the sheet provides a focal point for genealogical research in this rural pocket of the state. These high plains are carved by the distinct paths of Sulphur Springs Draw and Buzzard Draw, which dictate the local topography and the placement of historic crossings.

Industrial and agricultural patterns are evident in the dense network of local routes like Ranch Rd 87 and Fm Rd 26N. The depression of Red Lake stands as a notable natural landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the low-relief mesas and draws typical of the Permian Basin fringe. This map captures the intersection of early settlement infrastructure and the modern energy and ranching corridors that define the contemporary landscape.
