2013 Map of Live Oak

About this map

Brady Cr and Middle Kickapoo Cr carve through this Concho County landscape, which is defined by extensive water management infrastructure. The presence of multiple Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 33 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 30 Reservoir, indicates a territory heavily engineered for flood control and livestock support. The settlement of Live Oak serves as a local point of reference, centered near the Live Oak Cem and the intersection of Ranch Road 176 and Private Road 2330. This network of country roads and ranching tracks connects isolated homesteads to the primary thoroughfare of U.S. Route 87, which cuts across the northwest. For the researcher, the map documents the modern rural layout where natural drainages like Harden Br and Fitzgerald Cr meet artificial impoundments, illustrating the adaptation of West Texas ranch land to the demands of water conservation.
