About this map

Red Bluff Cr and Fivemile Draw carve through this high-elevation corner of Edwards County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage patterns of the Texas Hill Country. The terrain is notably sparse of concentrated settlements, reflecting the large-scale ranching operations typical of this region. Instead, a network of arterial paths such as Ranch Rd 2523 and various county roads, including Co Rd 22 and Co Rd 302, provide the primary structure for the area. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, Sycamore Cr trends southeast, illustrating the natural watershed that has historically dictated land use and property boundaries in this arid environment.
