About this map

Saltlick Mill stands in the northeastern corner of this West Texas terrain, situated near where Limpia Creek Rd follows the winding path of Limpia Creek. The landscape is defined by a series of dramatic canyon systems and high points, including Lookout Mountain and Rincon Peak. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, represented by a network of springs and man-made structures such as North Spring, Flat Rock Spring, and Horse Thief Spring, along with livestock watering points like El Toro Tank and Blas Tank.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are recorded through numerous canyons and draws, such as Bear Canyon, Bull Canyon, and Grapevine Draw. The convergence of Indian Creek and Number Eight Canyon south of Dog Point illustrates the complex topography. These features provide essential context for understanding the historic ranching and milling operations that relied on these specific water and terrain alignments.
