About this map

Salt Fork Brazos River dominates the southeastern terrain of this West Texas landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal drainages carves a complex network of breaks into the rolling plains. The hydrology of the region is anchored by Spring Creek Springs, which feeds into Spring Cr to the north, while the White River and Red Mud Cr create significant topographic relief as they cut through the western and central portions of the quadrangle.

Rural infrastructure is defined by a system of farm-to-market roads and ranch trails, such as Fm 1081 and the Pr Ranch Trl, which facilitate movement between these remote drainages. The map illustrates a classic ranching environment where the survival of cattle and commerce depends on the proximity to water sources like Little Red Mud Cr and the historical access provided by local county roads like Co RD 229.
