About this map

Muleshoe Ranch anchors this landscape in Borden County, where the upper reaches of the Colorado River cut through the West Texas terrain. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its ranching heritage and the essential management of water in an arid environment. The map is densely populated with named water tanks and small reservoirs, such as Creighton Lake, Tobacco Tank, and Bull Tank, which are vital to the local livestock industry.

Extensive drainage systems including Salt Creek, Tobacco Creek, and Wolf Creek define the topography, alongside significant depressions like Long Draw and Crane Draw. The industrial footprint of the region is evident in the Good Oil Field, reflecting the intersection of traditional ranching and energy extraction. Local infrastructure is represented by routes like Muleshoe Rd and Co Rd 257, which connect the remote ranch holdings to the wider county.
