1963 Map of Devils Backbone

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Canyon Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this 1963 survey, where the waters of the Guadalupe River meet the rising shoreline of the newly formed basin. To the north, the terrain transitions into the iconic limestone ridges of the Devils Backbone, a prominent geological feature that provides a natural corridor for regional travel. This area of central Texas reflects a landscape in transition, where established ranching land and rural landmarks like El Rancho Cima and Tower Hill coexist with the modern hydrological engineering of the reservoir system.
