About this map

Pecan Mott serves as the central landmark for this West Texas landscape, situated along the county line between Coke Co and Tom Green Co. The terrain is defined by a series of significant canyons and seasonal water sources, including the prominent Butterfield Canyon and Spring Canyon. These natural features were historically vital in this arid region, providing reliable points such as Buffalo Spring, Houston Spring, and Mule Creek Spring for ranching and early travel.

A network of drainages including Liveoak Creek, Red Creek, and Crows Nest Creek carves through the hills, illustrating the complex watershed of the Concho Valley hinterlands. Industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit and a Check Dam, reflecting the local utilization of land resources. For genealogists and local historians, the named springs and topographic landmarks like Eagle Bald Creek provide specific points of interest for tracing early land grants and family holdings in these sprawling ranch lands.
