2010 Map of McBride

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Carson County is defined by its deep roots in the Texas petroleum and ranching industries. The Burnett Oil Field dominates the northeastern sector, supported by industrial outposts such as Burnett Camp and Carson Camp which reflect the specialized infrastructure required for local energy production. The settlement of Hillard sits at a critical intersection of the northern road network, while McBride anchors the southwestern corner of the sheet. Between these points, the land remains largely open, characterized by the expansive Sixtysix Sixtysix Ranch. Natural drainage follows the path of several watercourses, including the north-trending Hill Creek and the meandering Rock Creek. These riparian corridors, along with West Dixon Creek and Middle Dixon Creek, provide the essential water sources that have sustained both cattle and oil interests in this part of the Panhandle for generations.
