About this map

Bush Knob Cr and Elm Cr carve through this section of the Rolling Plains in Throckmorton County, defining a landscape of ranching roads and intermittent waterways. The terrain is marked by the presence of Cooper Lake in the southwest and a network of county roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Lindsey Rd, Keeter Rd, and Dunlap Rd.

Industry and transport appear through the lens of Conoco Rd and the prominent Mexican Springs Rd, indicating the intersection of energy production and traditional land use. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure, from the path of Ranch Road 2356 to the varied branches of N Elm Cr, illustrating the quiet character of North Texas cattle country during the early 21st century.
