2010 Map of Lone Mountain

About this map

Lone Mountain dominates the center of this Crockett County landscape, a prominent ridge system that shapes the local water drainage. The area is defined by its ranching infrastructure, specifically the network of wind-powered water sources scattered across the terrain. These include the Three Way Windmill and Gay Windmill to the north, and Mesquite Windmill and Blue Ridge Windmill further south. The drainage patterns of Live Oak Creek and Noelke Creek carve through the plateau, indicating a landscape where water management is central to the land's utility. Local outposts like Santa Maria Camp and Redman Camp provide evidence of the working nature of this Texas rangeland. The presence of Sugar Bowl Tank further emphasizes the reliance on man-made water storage in this semi-arid region of the Edwards Plateau.
