2010 Map of Live Oak

About this map

Live Oak sits within a landscape defined by water management and ranching in Concho County. This 2010 survey reveals an intricate network of local roads such as FM 176 and Co RD 2041 that connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The most striking human-made features are the numerous reservoirs created for land management, including Soil Conservation Service Site 33 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 30 Reservoir, each accompanied by its own namesake dam. These sites illustrate the region's focus on soil conservation and water security in a territory drained by Brady Creek and Live Oak Creek. For those tracing family history, the Live Oak Cemetery provides a primary point of reference in this sparsely populated portion of the Texas Edwards Plateau. The drainage patterns of Middle Kickapoo Creek and Fitzgerald Creek further define the local topography, marking the natural boundaries between the various county roads that crisscross the quadrangle.
