2012 Map of Square Top Mountain

About this map

Square Top Mtn and Rattlesnake Butte anchor this West Texas landscape in Upton County, where a network of rural roads and ephemeral watercourses defines the terrain. The map details a transition between dry mesas and the low-lying drainages of Rankin Draw and China Draw in the northeastern section. Transportation in this arid region relies on a grid of county roads, including Co RD-445 and Co RD-420, which navigate around the prominent natural landmarks. The seasonal flow of Fivemile Cr winds through the eastern portion of the survey, illustrating the typical drainage patterns of the Edwards Plateau. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the sparse human footprint, centered largely on the infrastructure of Ranch Road 2463 and its connecting local routes.
