2012 Map of McKenzie Mountains

About this map

The McKenzie Mountains rise above a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral waterways and modern petroleum infrastructure in Scurry County. The dominant industrial feature is the Fuller Oil Field, which is supported by a dense grid of local roads and unimproved tracks. The presence of Fuller Ranch and the associated Fuller E Ranch Rd points to a dual-use economy where ranching and energy extraction coexist. A series of drainage systems, including Rough Cr, Little Rough Cr, and Ennis Cr, cut through the terrain, originating from the higher elevations of the mountains. Elkins Springs serves as a notable hydrologic landmark in the northern portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into more defined creek beds like Cooper Cr. This 2012 survey provides a precise layout of the county roads and ranch boundaries that facilitate access across this portion of the Texas plains.
