2016 Map of Devils Sinkhole

About this map

Devils Sinkhole defines the central focus of this Edwards County landscape, marking one of the most significant natural features in this part of Texas. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by numerous drainage systems, including Guthrie Draw and Steve Kemp Draw, which channel water through the limestone plateaus toward lower elevations. These geographic depressions are often named after local families or historical events, as seen with Cade Hollow, Deadman Hollow, and Thurman Hollow. Settlement is sparse, with the primary transport corridor being Kerrville Rd, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle. Water sources such as Hackberry Springs and the seasonal flows of Hackberry Cr and Deer Cr were likely vital for early ranching operations in this arid environment, where landmarks like Cedar Knob served as essential navigational points.
