About this map

Independence Cr cuts through the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, a rare perennial feature in the arid environment of Terrell County. This 2012 survey illustrates the continued reliance on scattered water infrastructure for ranching operations, marked by the presence of the East Martin Windmill and the Farm Tank Windmill. These landmarks serve as vital nodes in a sparse network of unpaved roads and trails that connect isolated outposts like the Allison Ranch. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns that feed toward the creek, showcasing the rugged isolation typical of the Trans-Pecos region where human settlement is clustered around reliable water sources and established ranching headquarters.
