About this map

The confluence of the Nueces River and the West Nueces River anchors this mid-century survey of the rugged Edwards Plateau. During the early 1940s, this region of the Edwards County and Kinney County border remained a landscape defined by extensive ranching operations and natural landmarks. Prominent elevations like Indian Mt, Black Mt, and Dutch Mt rise above a network of drainages including Four Mile Draw and Sycamore Creek. Ranching family names are densely recorded across the terrain, from Earwood Ranch in the northwest to Schwandner Ranch and Davis Ranch in the southeast. Vital water sources such as Wiley Water Hole, Blue Water Hole, and Cherry Spring were critical for livestock in this arid environment. The presence of the Government Road suggests established routes through the diverse topography of the four surrounding precincts.
