What the pictures show
Actual-location photographs are identified in their captions. Where a reusable park photo is unavailable, a visible “Regional photo · not this park” label identifies a Texas landscape used for context. These images do not show that park, its trails or current conditions.
Each photograph below links to its source and license. TXMUD’s resized, WebP-converted, cropped or color-treated versions retain the photograph’s stated license, including ShareAlike where applicable. Photo licenses apply to the photographs, not the entire website. Credits do not imply endorsement by photographers, operators or agencies.

TXMUD artwork & archive
The orange TXMUD identity and recovered archive artwork come from the site owner’s original website backup. The new masthead is an AI-assisted illustration commissioned for TXMUD and labeled as a tribute to the original artwork; it is not a photograph of a listed park.
Event-card artwork for campouts, driving courses, gear gatherings, muddy ATV and side-by-side rides, and trail running was created with AI assistance for TXMUD. These themed illustrations do not depict a specific venue, actual event, route or current conditions. Historical venue photographs retain their individual source and license captions.
