About this map

Sanderson Creek winds through this arid expanse of Terrell County, carving a drainage system that defines the local topography. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by large-scale ranching and rugged watercourses, where human presence is marked by established holdings like Harrell Ranch and Carruthers Ranch. The convergence of Sanderson Canyon and smaller tributaries like Seminole Canyon dictates the path of the regional road network.

Transportation in this part of West Texas is anchored by the corridor of Highway 90, with rural routes such as Bone Water Rd and Five Mile Rd providing access to the interior. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the Chihuahuan Desert borderlands, showing how named canyons like Lisinglass Canyon and remote ranch sites serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise sparsely populated territory.
