About this map

The Dry Devils River carves a deep path through this ranchland in Val Verde County, defining a landscape of isolated homesteads and limestone breaks during the early 1940s. Large-scale ranching operations like Dessler Ranch, Whitehead Ranch, and Quigg Ranch dominate the topography, reflecting the region's historical reliance on livestock in the semi-arid Edwards Plateau. A notable mid-century landmark, the Airfield at Davis Ranch, suggests the increasing importance of aviation for reaching remote Texas outposts during the war years.
