About this map

Perkins Lake and the drainage of Landreth Draw characterize this West Texas landscape along the border of Crane and Upton counties. The terrain is defined by ranching infrastructure and a network of roads that service the high plains, including Mc Elroy Ranch Rd and Mc Elroy Headquarters Rd. These family-named landmarks and headquarters locations signify the long-standing livestock operations that have shaped land use in this part of the Permian Basin for generations.

Water management is visible through the presence of McElroy Reservoir in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map also details a grid of local connectors and rural routes like Mobile Rd and Farm Rd 1233, illustrating how modern transportation corridors overlay traditional ranching boundaries. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from open range to a more structured landscape of managed reservoirs and designated ranch access roads.
