1963 Map of Buffalo Well

About this map

Schleicher and Sutton counties meet along an Indefinite Boundary on this mid-century survey of the Edwards Plateau. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Middle Valley Prong, which carves through the Middle Valley before joining the larger topography of Bull Hollow and Buffalo Draw. Human activity in this arid region is tied closely to the energy and ranching sectors, as evidenced by the Wardlaw Ranch and the cluster of industrial infrastructure at Humble Camp. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits, Gas Wells, and a dedicated Landing Strip suggests a period of active resource extraction. Essential utility features including a Pumping Sta, a Radio Tower, and several Pipelines trace the development of the infrastructure supporting these isolated outposts.
