2016 Map of McKenzie Mountains

About this map

The McKenzie Mountains rise above the high plains of the Texas Panhandle-South Plains border, where the boundary between Kent and Scurry counties bisects the terrain. This landscape is defined by its seasonal drainage network, with watercourses like McKenzie Cr and Ennis Cr carving through the elevation. The area maintains a ranching character, evidenced by roads such as Fuller E Ranch Rd and Fuller Ranch Rd that thread between the breaks. In the northeast, Elkins Springs serves as a notable hydrologic feature near the headwaters of Cooper Cr. The map captures a moment in the mid-2010s where the primary human footprint is a sparse grid of secondary routes like Ranch Rd 1231 and FM 1142, supporting the isolated agricultural and ranching operations characteristic of this region.
