The High Plains of Hartley County are defined here by a network of ephemeral watercourses and vital watering holes essential for West Texas ranching. Water management is central to the landscape, evidenced by the presence of New Tank and the Spring Dam located in the northwest. Several significant drainages, including Punta de Agua Cr and Romero Cr, carve through the terrain, leading toward larger basins. Named landmarks like Martha Houghton Lake Number 1 reflect family legacies tied to this arid region. Remote travel is facilitated by FM 767 and Griffin Ranch Rd, which provide access to interior points like Red Spring and Antelope Spring. This documentation captures the area's ongoing reliance on localized springs and creeks for livestock and land use.
