2010 Map of Sterling City NW

About this map

Garrett Windmill stands as a focal point in this portion of Sterling County, marking the practical water-infrastructure necessary for ranching and settlement in the West Texas landscape. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Mackenzie Draw in the south and the seasonal headwaters of North Gasconades Creek to the north. These intermittent watercourses, including Willow Creek, carve low-lying pathways through the terrain toward Cox Hollow. The rural road network is sparse, consisting largely of local routes like Bird Ln and Munn Ln that provide access to the vast ranch lands. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the region's land use, where family-named landmarks and essential water-pumping sites continue to define the geography.
