1971 Map of Black Waterhole

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The West Nueces River carves a significant course through the limestone-cut landscape of Edwards County in the early 1970s. This survey records a rugged Texas Hill Country terrain defined by dramatic drainages like Geronimo Creek, Crooked Draw, and Little Hackberry Draw. The presence of the Black Waterhole and Silman Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment, where life centered around ranching and limited resource extraction.
