1963 Map of Brokeleg Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Brokeleg Mountain rises above a landscape defined by cattle ranching and deep limestone drainages in Sutton County. This 1960s topographical study, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a network of family ranching operations including the Schwiening Ranch, Jacoby Ranch, and Wyatt Ranch. The distribution of these ranch headquarters suggests a settlement pattern tied to the limited water resources of the Edwards Plateau, where seasonal drainages like Epps Creek and West Copperas Creek provide the primary geographic structure. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local material extraction, while a prominent Pipeline corridor cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map is a specific record of the remote Texas Hill Country before further modernization, documenting old fence lines and isolated outposts such as the L Luckie Ranch and the N Gibbs Ranch.
