2022 Map of McWhorter Mountain

About this map

McWhorter Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this Sterling and Mitchell County borderlands map, rising above a complex network of seasonal drainages and stock management features. The terrain is characterized by high-plateau relief, notably at The Gap, where the elevation drops into a system of creeks including Renderbrook Cr and Willow Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern ranching infrastructure of the Texas West, where numerous named water tanks—such as Old Boatright Tank and New McWhorter Tank—are essential for livestock in this arid environment. The scarcity of paved roads is evident, with only Co RD 305 P providing access through the southwestern sector. The drainage patterns of Antelope Cr and N Gasconades Cr further define the land's transition from the high ridges down to the intermittent stream beds that carve through the limestone-rich topography.
