About this map

The Nueces River valley anchors this area of Southwest Texas, carving a deep path between the high ridges of the Balcones Escarpment. The settlement of Camp Wood occupies the river’s eastern bank, while Barksdale sits just to the north across the Edwards County and Real County line. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including the significant Camp Wood Spring and Old Faithful Spring, which have sustained life in this arid canyon environment for generations.

Beyond the river bottom, the topography rises sharply toward peaks like Military Mtn, Meridian Mtn, and Wildcat Mtn. These elevations are dissected by numerous drainages such as Miller Creek and Spring Creek, creating a complex network of canyons and draws like Rock Hollow. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of these river communities, from the grid of East 5th Street to the quiet grounds of the Garden of Memories cemetery south of town.
