2012 Map of Millican Mountains

About this map

Millican Mountains and the surrounding high ground of Coke County define this landscape, where survival is historically tied to reliable water sources. This 2012 survey reveals a complex network of private ranch infrastructure, most notably a high density of named windmills such as Schooler Windmill, Hatley Windmill, and the Head of the Creek Windmill. These features indicate the ongoing importance of groundwater in a region carved by seasonal drainages like Wildcat Cr and Paint Cr. The terrain is characterized by numerous incisions, including Lock Canyon, Horse Canyon, and Sterman Canyon, which drain toward the larger draws. Transportation is facilitated by roads like FM-2034, while the local topography is punctuated by prominent rises such as Lone Mtn and Wildcat Mtn. The presence of Oscar Tank and Wildcat Tank further emphasizes the hydraulic management necessary for land use in this part of Texas.
