2012 Map of Horse Camp Waterhole

About this map

Horse Camp Waterhole and a series of livestock tanks anchor this rangeland landscape in Kerr County, reflecting a local economy tied to water access and cattle ranching. The map illustrates a network of essential infrastructure, including family-named sites like the Bundy-Ross Ranch and Jackson Ranch. Windmills such as the Sampson Windmill and Deer Leg Windmill are vital markers for navigation and survival in this terrain, situated near ephemeral water sources like Paint Cr and Hunger Cr. This modern survey documents the persistent ranching layout where features like Lydle Draw and Beasley Draw define the movement of water across the land. Small water catchments including Goat Tank and Valentine Tank are scattered throughout, highlighting the necessary adaptations for managing livestock in a region defined by its drainage patterns and intermittent creek beds.
