About this map

Signal Spring serves as a central landmark in this portion of Oldham County, where the high plains of the Texas Panhandle are defined by a complex network of intermittent drainage. The landscape is characterized by the branching paths of Trujillo Cr in the north and the upper reaches of Mujares Cr and the E Fork Mujares Cr to the south. This area represents a classic ranching environment, anchored by the Windham Ranch, illustrating the sparse but deliberate human imprint on this semi-arid terrain.

The map reveals a sophisticated web of local roads and 4WD tracks that follow the natural contours of the creek beds, providing a clear view of how land is accessed and managed in this remote section of Texas. For those interested in regional hydrology or cattle ranching history, the placement of these named springs and seasonal watercourses offers an essential record of the resources that dictated settlement patterns in the Panhandle.
