About this map

The Mac Bain settlement and its surrounding ranchlands define this West Texas landscape in Motley County. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, most notably Dutchman Cr which winds through the center of the sheet, and the distinct topographic depressions of Carter Draw and Wason Draw to the east. Water management in this semi-arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Harold Campbell N Lake and Harold Campbell S Lake, providing essential reservoirs for local agricultural operations.

Transportation through this part of the Rolling Plains relies on a combination of primary corridors and rural access routes. The shared alignment of Highway 62 70 cuts across the northern section, while Ranch Road 684 and various county roads like Cord-316 provide connectivity to more remote areas. Smaller natural features like Dripping Springs and Longs Br offer specific landmarks for those tracing the history of local land use and hydrology.
