2012 Map of Middle Water

About this map

Middle Water serves as a focal point in this high plains landscape of Hartley County, where the infrastructure of Texas ranching is clearly delineated. The map shows a transition from structured transportation corridors like Co Rd-16 and Co Rd N to the essential water resources of the Panhandle. Meandering through the southern half of the quadrangle, Punta de Agua Cr provides a lifeline for the area's established ranching operations. Land use is defined by sprawling holdings such as the Taylor Ranch and Dammier Ranch, supported by functional landmarks like Steel Windmill and Red Windmill. The alignment of roads and the presence of these named windmills illustrate the practicalities of land management in this arid stretch of West Texas.
