About this map

The Tom Green and Schleicher County line divides this stretch of the Edwards Plateau, where the arid landscape is defined by intermittent drainage systems and ephemeral water sources. The S Concho River and its associated South Concho Draw serve as primary geographical markers in a territory characterized by significant elevation shifts and seasonal waterholes. Landmarks like Panther Bluff Waterhole and the namesake Cave Spring indicate the critical importance of specific water points in this ranching country.

Transport is dictated by rural routes and ranch access, with Butts Rd and Ranch Rd 2084 cutting through the terrain. The presence of features such as Bois D'Arc Draw and Dry Cr underscores the hydraulic nature of the region, where water only periodically fills the deeply carved draws. This map provides a detailed view of the modern land divisions and topographical features that have shaped life on the high plains of West Texas.
