2010 Map of Middle Water

About this map

Middle Water serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape in Hartley County, situated where a major transportation corridor cuts diagonally across the open range. The topography is defined by the drainage of Punta de Agua Creek, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where life is oriented around ranching operations and water management, evidenced by the named livestock holdings like Taylor Ranch and Dammier Ranch. The importance of water infrastructure in this arid environment is highlighted by functional landmarks such as the Steel Windmill and Red Windmill, which stand as vital points of interest for local geography. A network of rural roads including Byrd Rd and Brown Rd provides access to these isolated outposts, tracing the grid-like distribution of land in the Texas Panhandle.
