About this map

Graveyard Mtn and Schoolhouse Mtn dominate the high ground in this section of the Edwards Plateau, where the land is carved by an intricate network of draws and hollows. The Nueces River winds through the southeastern corner, marking the boundary between Edwards and Real counties. This 2019 survey shows a landscape defined by ranching and remote infrastructure, centered around Ranch Rd 335 as it follows the course of Hackberry Cr.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like Hackberry Cem and the naming of the many drainages, such as Beef Hollow, Steve Kemp Draw, and Tanner Draw. The presence of the Hackberry Ranch Airport near the confluence of Hackberry Rd and the river indicates the modern connectivity required in this isolated terrain, while Cade Spring and McCurdy Springs remain vital water sources in the arid environment.
