2019 Map of McWhorter Mountain

About this map

McWhorter Mtn stands as a prominent high point in this West Texas landscape, where the border of Mitchell and Sterling counties divides a terrain defined by intermittent drainage and vital water-collection points. The topographical layout is dominated by the complex ridges of the southern section, notably around The Gap, which gives way to an extensive network of water tanks supporting the region's ranching operations. Named features like Old Boatright Tank, Limekin Tank, and Horse Pasture Tank indicate a long history of land use and livestock management. This 2019 survey documents the intricate watershed of Renderbrook Cr and Willow Cr, providing a clear view of how man-made improvements interact with natural landforms like Antelope Cr to sustain activity in this arid environment.
