About this map

Teacup Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn anchor this West Texas landscape, where the high plains break into a series of drainages feeding the Pease River. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the incision of Mud Cr and the waters of Lake Copper Breaks, while the western edge reveals the industrial footprint of the Canal Creek Oil Field.

A network of drainage systems including Canal Cr, Cedar Cr, and Blacks Br Cr has carved significant relief into the terrain, most notably at Bowley Canyon and Sloans Springs Canyon. The ranching and resource-extraction character of the area is further evidenced by a grid of county roads and numerous small reservoirs, such as Walter Stapp Lake and City Crowell Lake, which provide essential water management for this semi-arid region.
