2010 Map of Sanco

About this map

The settlement of Sanco anchors this portion of Coke County, where the high plains of West Texas meet the broken terrain of the Colorado River watershed. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent rises including Durham Peak, Horse Mountain, and Meadow Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses. Tributaries such as Yellow Wolf Creek and Willmo Sand Creek carve through the scrubland, while Panther Gap provides a natural passage through the elevated ridges. The road network, including the Sanco Loop and Arledge Rd, reflects a rural ranching economy where property boundaries often follow the winding paths of Rough Creek and Meadow Creek. This survey captures the region's sparse development, focusing on the essential relationship between the intermittent water supply and the isolated ranching outposts that characterize the area.
