2019 Map of Burkes Ridge

About this map

The Aransas River winds through this Bee County landscape, marking the southern reaches of the quadrangle where the terrain is carved by natural drainages like Moss Gully and Panther Hollow. The area is characterized by open ranchland and a sparse network of rural routes, including Wicker Rd and Guajolote Rd, which connect the elevated terrain of Burkes Ridge to the surrounding lowlands. A significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Campo Santo Cem, located near the northern banks of the river. The presence of features such as Corrigan Hole along the river and various seasonal creeks like Medio Cr and Spring Cr illustrates a landscape defined by its hydrography and agricultural utility in the late 2010s.
