About this map

Dry Devils River carves a winding path through this corner of the Edwards Plateau, where the convergence of Crockett, Sutton, and Val Verde counties marks a remote ranching landscape. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal drainage features including Flat Rock Draw, Pot Hole City Canyon, and Rough Canyon, which together define the area's physical character.

Settlement is sparse and centered on established family holdings such as Phillips Ranch, Hunt Ranch, and Hunnicutt Ranch. The presence of several Oil Wells and a Drill Hole in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the gradual expansion of energy exploration into these traditional grazing lands. An Indefinite Boundary and various benchmarks, including BM 1890 and BM 1866, provide essential reference points for surveyors in this dissected terrain.
