2012 Map of Maverick Creek

About this map

The Cogdell Oil Field dominates the northern portion of this Scurry County landscape, where industrial extraction and ranching intersect. This 2012 survey reveals a complex network of local roads and lease paths servicing the oil operations, contrasted with the traditional open range of the Bowden Ranch in the northwest. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages, including the headwaters of Maverick Cr and Salt Springs Cr, which carve through the high plains toward prominent overlooks. Landmarks such as Church Peak and Overlook Hill provide clear navigational markers in an area where the economy remains deeply tied to the land's subsurface mineral wealth and surface grazing.
