About this map

Henderson Ranch and Rocking R Ranch anchor this landscape in Schleicher County, where the settlement pattern is defined by large family-held tracts and critical water sources. The terrain is dominated by the bifurcated drainage of North Valley and its North Valley Prong, alongside the broad expanse of Middle Valley. In this arid portion of the Edwards Plateau, named water sources like Eighteenmile Waterhole and Panther Bluff Waterhole were essential for the cattle operations that shaped the local economy. The 1963 survey also documents modern infrastructure cutting across the traditional ranch lands, including multiple pipelines and numerous Gravel Pits, while red dashed lines denote the extensive fence lines separating holdings like James Ranch and Crosby Ranch.
