About this map

Large family-held ranching operations define this West Texas landscape in Schleicher County. The map reveals a land structured around seasonal drainage systems, most notably West Bear Creek and the meandering Rattlesnake Draw, which drain the arid plateau. The presence of the Lopez Ranch Airport near Lopez Ranch highlights the logistical necessities of managing expansive remote properties where air travel and ranch roads like Mc Gowan Ranch Rd provide critical connectivity.

Individual legacy holdings are clearly identified, including the Lehne Ranch, Morales Ranch, and Johnston Ranch, offering a clear view of land distribution and named homesteads. The water network, though often dry, is mapped with precision, tracing the courses of Middle Copperas Creek and East Copperas Creek as they cut through the terrain. This document provides a record of rural land use at the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
