2013 Map of Eden SE

About this map

Whitehead Ranch sits at the heart of this Menard County landscape, representing the enduring ranching traditions of Central Texas in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including S Brady Cr, W Scalp Cr, and Celery Cr, which carve through the plateau. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in this arid environment, prominently featuring the Soil Conservation Service Site 26 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Reservoir. Beyond the natural hydrology, the presence of the Plum Thicket Windmill underscores the reliance on groundwater for livestock. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of Ranch Road 1223 and local routes like Whitehead E and Co Rd-2304, which provide the essential links between these large rural holdings.
