2010 Map of Tankersley

About this map

Spring Creek and Dove Creek define the drainage patterns of this Tom Green County landscape, where water management is central to the local ranching economy. The settlement of Tankersley sits along the northern rail and road corridor, while the surrounding territory is dominated by large family holdings such as the Bryant Ranch, Hughes Ranch, and Tweedy Ranch. These properties are punctuated by critical water infrastructure, including the Ball Reservoir, Metcalfes Spring Creek Reservoir, and the Rust Dam which impounds Rust Reservoir. The network of rural routes, including S FM 2335 and Tweedy Rd, illustrates the connectivity between these remote homesteads and the central community at the start of the 21st century.
