2010 Map of Clark Waterhole

About this map

Devils River and its ephemeral counterpart, Dry Devils River, dictate the drainage patterns across this arid portion of Val Verde County. The landscape is deeply incised by complex canyon systems, including Gold Mine Canyon, Sheep Camp Canyon, and Burnt Cedar Canyon. These features illustrate the rugged limestone topography characteristic of the Edwards Plateau. Historical human presence is marked by the Newman Cemetery and a sparse network of ranch roads such as Hussie Meiers Rd and Dolan Creek Rd. Water management is vital in this environment, evidenced by named reliable sources like Carlos Camp Spring, Glenn Spring, and the namesake Clark Waterhole. The map reveals how early 21st-century ranching life centers on these intermittent streams and vital springs tucked within deep basins like Toliver Basin Canyon.
