About this map

The North Concho River winds through the heart of this Sterling County landscape, defining a ranching territory marked by expansive properties and intermittent waterways. Private landholdings like the Cole Ranch and Reed Ranch occupy the northern reaches of the sheet, while the McEntire Ranch is situated to the southeast, reflecting the sparse, large-scale settlement pattern characteristic of West Texas.

A network of drainage features, including Gardener Draw, Dobson Draw, and the eponymous Sand Bluff Draw, converge toward the river valley, illustrating the complex hydrography of this semi-arid region. Connectivity across these rangelands is facilitated by Parramore Ln, which cuts across the terrain to link these remote outposts. This 2010 survey provides a detailed record of land use and water resources, including smaller tributaries like Dobson Creek and Bobs Creek, as they existed at the start of the decade.
