2022 Map of Pursley House

About this map

The rugged West Texas breaks where Dickens, King, Kent, and Stonewall counties meet define this landscape, dominated by a complex network of eroded drainages and ranch infrastructure. Croton Cr and its tributaries, including N Fork Croton Cr, carve deep through the terrain, creating named features such as Bird Pouroff Canyon, Dark Canyon, and the whimsical North Pole Canyon and South Pole Canyon. Settlement is sparse in this portion of the Rolling Plains, with the Beggs Ranch Airport serving as a primary landmark for the large cattle operations that characterize the region. Isolated water sources like Getaway Tank and Sage Tank provide essential stock water in a landscape where the W Fork Dove Cr and other seasonal creeks are often dry. The map records a series of county roads, such as Co RD 371, providing access through these remote canyons.
