About this map

The Middle Concho River cuts through the northeast corner of this arid West Texas landscape, where life and labor are organized around essential water sources. This 2012 survey captures a vast ranching infrastructure defined by named windmills and line camps, reflecting the region's enduring cattle-working heritage. Isolated outposts like Elbow Line Camp and Vat Line Camp sit at the intersection of private ranch roads such as Vat Rd and Highland Pens Rd.

A complex network of drainage features, or draws, dictates the movement across the terrain. Names such as South Mustang Draw, Centralia Draw, and East Snow Draw dominate the topography, while a constellation of windmills—including Rainbow Windmill, Dogtown Windmill, and the uniquely named Old Pink Windmill—serves as the primary landmarks for modern ranchers and local historians tracing the development of Irion County's pastoral economy.
