About this map

Pecan Crossing serves as the central landmark in this portion of Mitchell County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River. The area is a network of intermittent drainage and water management features, including Red Bank Cr and several named cattle tanks like Crane Hollow Tank and Forrest Lowe Tank. These water sources are critical to the ranching operations that have long characterized this West Texas terrain.

A sparse grid of county roads, such as Co RD 121 and Co RD 337, provides access through the breaks and draws leading to the river valley. The map documents the convergence of several waterways, including Beals Cr, Willow Cr, and Big Silver Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that shapes the local topography. This 2016 survey offers a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns in a region where water and roadway access dictate the rhythm of life.
