About this map

Barksdale and Camp Wood anchor this portion of the Hill Country along the Nueces River in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with prominent heights such as Military Mountain, Wildcat Mountain, and Meridian Mountain rising above the river valley. The map documents the local social infrastructure of the era, from the Garden of Memories cemetery and Nueces Canyon High Sch to Camp Fawcett and Bruce Park.

Water is the lifeblood of this Texas terrain, indicated by numerous named sources like Old Faithful Spring and the winding course of Pulliam Creek. A noted Historical Site near the town center of Camp Wood provides a point of interest for researchers of local heritage, while a Radio Tower and Substa reflect the mid-century utility footprint. The boundary between Edwards and Real counties is clearly delineated as it cuts through the upland reaches and creek beds.
