2019 Map of Spring Creek Ranch

About this map

Spring Creek Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of Hartley County, where the landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems and vital water resources. The geography is shaped by the intermittent flows of Romero Cr and its significant tributary, the W Fork Romero Cr, which carve paths through the high plains terrain. Local water management is evident through features like Buttermilk Tank and the specifically named Martha Houghton Lake Number 3, reflecting the region's reliance on captured surface water for ranching operations. Modern transit through this cattle country is facilitated by FM 767, which cuts across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. The map also records the courses of Hay Cr and Spring Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that supports the large-scale ranching interests characteristic of the Texas Panhandle.
