About this map

Burkes Ridge rises above the South Texas coastal plain, defining a landscape etched by the drainage networks of the Aransas River, Medio Creek, and Spring Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a rural environment where landform names such as Panther Hollow, Moss Gully, and Burk Hollow reveal a localized geography often tied to early ranching and settlement history.

Genealogists and local historians may find particular interest in the Campo Santo Cemetery located north of the river, as well as the uniquely named landmark known as The Devil Tree west of the ridge. The map documents the persistent rural road network, including Guajolote Rd, and specific water features like Corrigan Hole, which likely served as important landmarks in an area dominated by seasonal waterways and open terrain.
