1972 Map of Miers Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Miers Ranch sits amidst the deeply incised draws and plateaus of Val Verde County in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sharp drainage patterns of Big Satan Creek and Bluff Creek, which cut through the limestone terrain toward the south. A notable human imprint on this remote ranchland is the Old Railroad Grade, which winds along the contour lines of the eastern ridges, tracing a path through the hills toward West Fork Sycamore Creek. This thoroughfare, along with the Mark (Radio Tower) landmark, provides a record of the communication and transport corridors used to navigate this part of Southwest Texas. The map also reveals the network of fine dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, illustrating the division of large-scale pastoral holdings characteristic of the era.
