About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a complex series of drainage patterns across the Stonewall and Fisher county line. This arid Texas terrain is defined by its deep incisions and canyons, most notably the prominent White Canyon and Spring Canyon which feed into the river system. The presence of Bullock Bend suggests the sharp, meandering turns the river takes as it navigates the topography.

Evidence of historical ranching and rural life is centered on the Dowell Cem, located in the southern half of the quadrangle near FM 2598. Smaller watercourses like Collins Cr, Nicholson Cr, and Gyp Cr crisscross the area, supported by a network of rural roads such as FM 610 and several numbered county routes. This survey documents the sparse, high-plains geography of West Texas in the late 2010s, focusing on the natural water features and the subtle marks of human habitation.
