2019 Map of Mushaway Peak

About this map

Mushaway Peak rises above a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources in Borden County. The topography is shaped by the drainage patterns of Hullem Cr and Grape Cr, which feed south toward the Colorado River. This 2019 survey documents a network of livestock tanks and water catchments essential for West Texas land management, including Bombsight Tank, Sourdough Tank, and Shipping Trap Tank. These features, along with Edwards Lake and Smoot Tank, indicate the careful utilization of the terrain for cattle ranching. Transportation is anchored by FM 669 and Willow Valley Rd, providing access through this sparsely populated stretch of the Llano Estacado region. The map reveals the relationship between natural elevation and human-made improvements, such as the Pipeline Tank and various trap tanks used for livestock handling.
