About this map

Nueces River waterrights and family ranching operations dominate this 1940s landscape in Edwards County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Crooked Creek, Cedar Draw, and Five Mile Draw, which feed into the primary river valley. Vital water sources like Kickapoo Spring, Silman Spring, and the Black Water Hole served as the lifeblood for the numerous named cattle and sheep ranches that partitioned the land. Significant family holdings such as the Shreiner Ranch, Wittenburg Ranch, and Stansbury Ranch are clearly demarcated within political boundaries like Precinct 1 and Precinct 3. Transportation in this era relied on the established Rocksprings Road and Brackettville Road, which connected these remote Edwards Plateau homesteads to larger regional hubs.
