About this map

The Koy Ranch and Hendrick Ranch define the settlement pattern of this West Texas ranching landscape, which was updated by the U.S. Geological Survey through 1979 aerial photography. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainages, most notably Live Oak Hollow and North Valley, which converge as they move through the quadrangle. A significant local landmark, the Twentymile Waterhole, serves as a critical water source in an area otherwise marked by ephemeral features and scattered Gravel Pits.

Remote homesteads like McBurnett Ranch and Page Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and fine red dashed lines indicating fence boundaries. The presence of several Pipelines cutting across the north and south sections reflects the region's mid-century energy infrastructure. The map also identifies the locality of Freund, providing a detailed look at land use and family holdings in Schleicher County during the early 1960s and into the 1980s.
