About this map

The Colorado River winds through this West Texas landscape, defining the rural character of Mitchell County. At the heart of the area lies Pecan Crossing, a namesake location where the river is joined by Willow Cr and Beals Cr. The terrain is marked by a network of ranch roads, including Co RD 121 and Co RD 343, which connect the scattered settlements and agricultural sites.

Water management is evident through numerous named catchment basins such as Crane Hollow Tank, Silver Tank, and Forrest Lowe Tank, reflecting the necessity of irrigation and livestock watering in this arid region. The settlement of Lowe sits further north, situated near several seasonal drainages like Red Bank Cr. This map documents a quiet, ranching-oriented section of the state where the physical geography of river forks and creek beds dictates the placement of homes and transport routes.
