About this map

The Anacacho Mountains dominate this portion of the Texas landscape, where deep drainages like Mustang Canyon and Goat Canyon cut through the limestone terrain. The small community of Odlaw sits in the northern portion of the map along U.S. Highway 90, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its complex topographic features rather than dense settlement. Water management is evident through numerous named tanks such as Pavo Tank, Willow Tank, and Tonto Tank, which are vital for supporting life in this arid environment.

Fascinating place names suggest a colorful local history, including the uniquely titled Big Fryngpan Valley and its counterpart, Little Fryngpan Valley. Nearby, the provocatively named Hells Halfacre indicates the challenging nature of the terrain. The area's hydrology is further defined by seasonal flows like Stricklin Cr and the notable Sleeping Spring, which provides a name to the adjacent Sleeping Spring Draw.
