2016 Map of Ketchum Mountain

About this map

Ketchum Mountain stands as the central topographic feature in this section of Irion County, where high plateaus are dissected by a series of drainage networks. The landscape is defined by its intermittent watercourses, including South Liveoak Draw in the north and Big Hollow Draw to the south. These natural draws historically guided the placement of ranch roads and cattle tracks across the Edwards Plateau. Modern infrastructure like FM 2469 and named ranch routes such as Jay Scott Rd and Cal Suggs Rd trace these traditional paths. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where land use is intimately tied to the elevation changes around McDowell Draw, providing an detailed record of rural Texas land management and survey boundaries in the early 21st century.
