2012 Map of Burr Oak Creek

About this map

Slator Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape within Tom Green County, where a network of ephemeral waterways defines the drainage patterns. The namesake Burr Oak Cr meanders through the central portion of the quadrangle, joined by other seasonal streams including Kickapoo Cr, Welch Cr, and Frog Pond Cr. The area is characterized by large rural holdings and a sparse road network essential for livestock management and access to the interior. Transportation is anchored by Fort McKavett Rd, which provides passage through the northern reaches of the territory. This map documents the persistent agricultural and ranching heritage of the Texas Edwards Plateau region, highlighting how local topography and water sources like Brady Cr dictate the placement of ranch houses and rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
