2019 Map of McKenzie Mountains

About this map

McKenzie Mountains dominate the northwestern landscape of this region along the border of Kent and Scurry counties. This portion of West Texas is defined by a dendritic drainage network, where seasonal waterways like McKenzie Cr and Little Rough Cr carve into the high plains. The map illustrates a rural environment of ranching interests and expansive land tracts, evidenced by the presence of Elkins Springs and an extensive network of farm-to-market roads. Grounded in 2019 data, the survey shows the modern connectivity of FM 1231 and Ranch Rd 1231, which provide the primary north-south and east-west transit through these remote highlands. To the southeast, the terrain softens as it nears Rough Cr, while numerous local ranch roads like Fuller Ranch Rd suggest the continued agricultural and pastoral utility of this rugged high-country terrain.
