About this map

N Elm Cr and the waters of Tonk Cr define this landscape in Throckmorton County, where ranch roads and creek drainages create a distinct rural network. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the Elm Cr Reservoir, while the southern terrain is shaped by the Ranger Canyon Tank and the path of Ranger Cr. This territory is primarily characterized by its water management features and local drainage systems, with named points like Sellers Hill providing topographical variation.

A network of local routes, including Bull Rd, Cabin Rd, and Otts Rd, connects the scattered water tanks and creek forks. The area is divided by numerous forks of the Tonk, including E Fork Tonk Cr and W Fork Tonk Cr, showing how the land has been organized around these vital water sources in north-central Texas. Small-scale features such as Ada Tank and Horse Cr further illustrate the detailed hydrologic mapping of this ranching country.
