2010 Map of Brokeleg Mountain

About this map

Brokeleg Mountain anchor’s this portion of the Texas Edwards Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the traditional ranching economy of Sutton County. This 2010 survey highlights a network of family-named ranching estates, including the Schwiening Ranch, Luckie Ranch, and Sykes Ranch, which are connected by a web of rural roads and tracks. The hydrology of the region is centered on seasonal drainage systems such as Epps Creek and West Copperas Creek, while Pecan Springs suggests a vital water source in this semi-arid environment. The distribution of these ranch headquarters, such as the Jacoby Ranch and Kelley Ranch, illustrates the enduring land-use patterns of large-scale livestock operations that have shaped this part of West Texas for generations.
