About this map

Sanderson serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, centered on the Terrell County Courthouse and the surrounding grid of residential streets. The town is bounded to the south by the deep cut of Sanderson Canyon and is bisected by the flow of Sanderson Cr. The high desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage features, including Putman Canyon and Threemile Draw, which dictate the local infrastructure.

Beyond the civic center, local history is preserved at the Santa Rita Cem and Cedar Grove Cem on the eastern edge of the settlement. The area's water management is visible through specialized infrastructure like the Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir. Regional travel and ranching access are facilitated by established routes such as Downie Rd and Six Mile Rd, which navigate the winding draws of the Trans-Pecos region.
