About this map

The town of Mertzon serves as the focal point of this Irion County survey, situated at a junction of regional roads including W Main Ave and N Broadway St. The settlement pattern reflects a modest grid emerging from the West Texas landscape, anchored by the Mertzon Cem to the south. Northwest of the main town site, the terrain rises significantly toward Lopez Peaks, where the headwaters of Lopez Cr and the tucked-away Lopez Spring define the local hydrology.

Further northeast, the map documents the community of Sherwood, once the county seat, and its accompanying Sherwood Cem. The geography is defined by seasonal waterways like Spring Cr and Bull Run Cr, which carve through the Edwards Plateau topography. Private air travel is represented by Creekside Airport in the eastern section, while a network of ranch roads and trails, such as Wagon Wheel Trl and Lucky Mag Rd, illustrates the area's rural connectivity.
