About this map

The boundary between Sutton and Kimble County bisects this modern-era landscape of the Edwards Plateau, where high-relief topography is defined by the intricate drainage of the Copperas Creek system. The map documents the convergence of several major seasonal waterways, including the upper reaches of Middle Copperas Cr, W Copperas Cr, and E Copperas Cr, which carve through the limestone terrain to form significant features like McKegan Draw and Baker Draw.

Human activity in this portion of West Texas is largely organized around ranching access and land management, indicated by the network of local routes such as Ranch Rd 1674 and Rafter O Ranch Rd. The absence of dense settlements underscores the rural nature of the region, where named locations like Spring Hollow and Buck Hollow serve as primary geographical anchors for modern land surveys and genealogical research in the Texas hill country.
