2010 Map of Mushaway Peak

About this map

Mushaway Peak rises above a West Texas landscape defined by an extensive system of water management features and cattle-ranching infrastructure. In this 2010 survey of Borden County, the terrain is networked with uniquely named reservoirs such as Bombsight Tank, Sourdough Tank, and Behind Horse Pasture Tank, reflecting the necessity of water security in this arid environment. The Colorado River cuts through the southwestern corner, joined by tributaries like Grape Creek and Little Grape Creek. Settlement is sparse, with the map primarily documenting rural transit routes like FM 669 and Willow Valley Rd connecting scattered ranching operations. The presence of the Edwards Lake Dam and specialized points like the Shipping Trap Tank provide a detailed view of the regional livestock industry's footprint at the start of the 21st century.
