2022 Map of Mushaway Peak

About this map

Mushaway Peak rises above a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management features and cattle-country infrastructure in this Borden County survey. The Colorado River cuts across the southern reach of the sheet, fed by drainages including Grape Cr, Little Grape Cr, and Hullem Cr. The density of named tanks, such as Behind Horse Pasture Tank, Sourdough Tank, and Bombsight Tank, highlights the ranching economy and the necessity of surface water storage in the West Texas plains. Transportation is anchored by FM 669 and Willow Valley Rd, providing access to remote landmarks like Edwards Lake and various shipping points. The map documents a contemporary view of traditional land use, where family-named landmarks and essential livestock tanks map the history of local land tenure.
