About this map

Coupe Ranch and its neighboring livestock operations define the landscape of Schleicher County in this mid-1960s survey, updated with purple photorevisions from the late 1970s. The terrain is dominated by the winding path of Granger Draw, which cuts through the central portion of the sheet near Mayer Ranch and its associated Landing Strip. The presence of several family-named properties, including Speck Ranch to the north and Meador Ranch to the south, reflects the enduring ranching heritage of the Edwards Plateau.

Industrial activity is localized but present, indicated by a Gas Well and several Gravel Pit sites scattered across the higher elevations. The mapping of Buckhorn Draw in the southwest corner and the network of fence lines tracked across the sheet reveal the practical infrastructure required to manage these large Texas holdings. The remote settlement of Mayer serves as a small waypoint in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open country and intermittent drainage patterns.
