2012 Map of Sanderson

About this map

Sanderson serves as the primary hub in this arid West Texas landscape, where the town's grid meets the wandering path of Sanderson Cr. The town's layout is defined by streets like Avenue E and Legion St, with the Santa Rita Cem situated on the southern edge. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape deeply tied to ranching and water management, featuring several large private holdings such as Downie Ranch, Goldwire Ranch, and Deaton Ranch. The infrastructure of the high desert is evident in the network of rural roads like Deaton RD and the series of water retention projects managed by the Soil Conservation Service, including Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir. Natural drainages like Red Windmill Draw and Threemile Draw cut through the terrain, highlighting the geological features that dictate the placement of ranch houses and transit routes.
