1923 Map of Ketchum Mountain

About this map

Ketchum Mountain dominates the southeastern quadrant of this West Texas landscape, rising above a network of draws and ephemeral watercourses. During the early 1920s, this portion of Irion County was defined by a ranching economy, with numerous named holdings such as 7 Bar D Ranch, Brister Ranch, and Sheen Ranch scattered across the high ground. The Middle Concho River winds through the central valley, joined by secondary drainages like Kiowa Creek and Liveoak Draw. Human activity is concentrated along the river and the primary overland routes, including the Barnhart and Mertzon Road and Stiles Road. The presence of the Burney School near Burney Ranch suggests a small but established community center for the local ranching families. Numerous wells are documented across the sheet, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid environment.
