About this map

The Nueces River carves a path through this Hill Country landscape, anchoring the settlements of Barksdale and Camp Wood. The river’s importance to the area is punctuated by water sources like Old Faithful Spring and Camp Wood Spring, which historically supported local development along the eastern bank. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Powers Mtn, Military Mtn, and Wildcat Mtn, while Pikes Peak stands near the confluence of Pulliam Cr and the main river channel.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered near the southern edge of the map at the Garden of Memories cemetery and Camp Fawcett. A network of rural routes, such as Spring Creek RD and Ranch Road 335, connects these communities across the limestone-dominated hills. The presence of Nueces Lake near the southern boundary suggests a transition in the river's flow, providing a focus for recreation and residence in this part of Real County.
