2010 Map of Pecan Crossing

About this map

The Colorado River meanders through the heart of this Mitchell County landscape, joined by numerous tributaries that define the local geography. Significant watercourses including Beals Creek, Willow Creek, and Big Silver Creek converge here, highlighting the importance of drainage and water management in this part of West Texas. Named settlements such as Lowe and Pecan Crossing are situated along these waterways and rural roads like Co RD 337. The area is notably characterized by its ranching infrastructure, evidenced by features such as the Spade Ranch Crane Hollow Tank Dam and several irrigation or livestock ponds like Forrest Lowe Tank, Crane Hollow Tank, and Silver Tank. This network of small reservoirs and dams suggests a landscape heavily adapted for livestock and agricultural use, where water sources are vital landmarks for local history and land ownership research.
