About this map

Ranching operations define the landscape of this Schleicher County region, where private estates like the Henderson Ranch and Figure Three Ranch are connected by a sparse network of local roads and water resources. The importance of aviation in managing these expansive West Texas holdings is evidenced by the Rocking R Ranch Airport situated near the Hurricane Bluff Waterhole.

The hydrology of the area centers on the ephemeral drainage patterns of the North Valley Prong and Middle Valley Prong, which feed into distinctive landmarks such as Twelvemile Waterhole and Panther Bluff Waterhole. Cultural features are largely centered on named family tracts, including the L Edmiston Ranch and W Edmiston Ranch located near Co RD 245, providing a clear view of land distribution and named water sources across Middle Valley in the early 21st century.
