1963 Map of McKegan Draw NE

About this map

Lehne Ranch and Morales Ranch sit near the northern boundary of the Texas Hill Country in this early 1960s survey, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage draws and family-held ranchlands. The map reveals a remote pastoral economy through labels like Graham Ranch, Dutton Ranch, and Johnston Ranch, highlighting the distributed settlement patterns of Kimble Co and Menard Co. Water management and transportation are evident in the orientation of Colston Draw and Campbell Draw, alongside several Gravel Pit sites and a designated Landing Area. This topographic study documents the land before significant modern development, preserving the footprints of historic homesteads such as A Murr Ranch and the winding course of Middle Copperas Creek.
