2022 Map of Burkes Ridge

About this map

Burkes Ridge rises above a landscape defined by the winding course of the Aransas River and its various tributaries in this Bee County interior. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features and erosional breaks, including Panther Hollow and Moss Gully to the south. Historically significant sites such as the Campo Santo Cem are located near the intersection of Guajolote Rd and Corrigan Rd, indicating long-standing local community ties to the land. Along the river, named landmarks like Corrigan Hole suggest traditional local knowledge of the waterway, while the northern sections are drained by the meandering Medio Cr. The sparse road network, including Wicker Rd, connects these isolated points across the coastal prairie landscape.
