About this map

White Ranch and Russell Ranch anchor this West Texas ranching landscape in Schleicher County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the Edwards Plateau. The presence of Eaker Windmill and the Ninemile Waterhole reflects the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The terrain is marked by gradual elevations like Round Hill, with seasonal watercourses including Rocky Cr and Dry Cr carving through the limestone-based soil. Transportation throughout the area is served by a network of rural routes, notably Farm-To-Market Road 2873 and Ranch Road 2873, which connect these isolated homesteads and pastures to the wider region. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of contemporary land use, showing how legacy ranching operations continue to utilize natural features and established rural road systems.
