2022 Map of Clark Waterhole

About this map

Devils River and its seasonal counterpart, the Dry Devils River, carve a complex network of drainage systems through this portion of Val Verde County. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep canyons and draws, such as Gold Mine Canyon and Deadman Canyon, which lead toward critical water sources like Clark Waterhole and Gravel Waterhole. Human activity is primarily centered around large ranching operations, evidenced by the private Rio Vista Ranch Airport and Morning Star Ranch Airport. The presence of the Newman Cem near the northern boundary provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early residents in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Miers Ranch Rd and Dolan Creek Rd, illustrating the isolation and scale of the modern ranching economy.
