2012 Map of Clegg

About this map

Clegg serves as the small focal point of this Live Oak County landscape, where the settlement and nearby Clegg Ranch sit at the intersection of rural ranching life and a complex hydraulic network. The terrain is defined by the numerous ephemeral drainages of Ramirena Cr, Tepecate Cr, and Lagarto Cr, which snake through the dry brush country. What truly distinguishes this 2012 survey is the sheer density of named windmills, such as Mala Suerte Windmill, Steel Windmill, and Rancho Viejo Windmill. These features reflect a late-century agricultural landscape where groundwater management was essential to the operation of the Martin Ranch and Garza Ranch. For family historians, the Clegg Cem provides a primary point of reference for the community that developed along these cattle-and-creek boundaries.
