About this map

Kickapoo Spring and the upper reaches of Kickapoo Cr anchor this high-plateau landscape in Tom Green County. The area is defined by a network of drainage ways and intermittent water sources, including Rust Spring and the winding Hog Marsh Cr. This 2016 survey reflects the persistent ranching and rural character of the region, where family and historical associations are preserved in road names such as Jim Barron Rd and the Bill Pfluger Road Private.

Modern infrastructure, represented by FM 1223, cuts through the terrain, yet the map continues to document older landmarks of local significance. The name School House Rd suggests the historical locations of community centers in this sparsely populated section of West Texas. Other water features like Welch Cr and Lipan Cr provide a look at the natural hydrology that has dictated land use and settlement patterns in the county for generations.
