2010 Map of Sonora

About this map

The town of Sonora serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, where the confluence of modern infrastructure and arid terrain is clearly visible. The area is defined by the ephemeral Dry Devils River and its associated flood control structures, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir and its companion Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Dam. These water management features are critical to a region carved by seasonal drainages like Lowrey Draw and Shurley Draw. To the north, the industrial footprint of the Meckel Gas Field and the Meridan Oil Gasplant Rd highlights the local energy economy. Transportation routes such as the Old Ft Mckavett Rd and the proximity of the Sonora Municipal Airport underscore the town's role as a regional hub for Sutton County during this period in the early 21st century.
