About this map

Mulberry Canyon dominates this 1984 study of the Taylor County landscape, where the flat plains give way to a series of distinctive mesas and deeply cut drainages. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Castle Peak and Bald Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including Mulberry Creek and Nubia Creek.

A notable geological and hydrological feature is Butman Falls, located on Elm Creek as it winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the area, with Mapes Hollow and Horse Hollow cutting through the elevated terrain. From Rindy Peak to the secluded Pat Powers Cove, the landscape is a clear record of the erosion and ranching geography characteristic of this part of West Texas during the late twentieth century.
