1974 Map of Mudge Draw

About this map

Wind-powered water infrastructure and ranching features define this 1970s landscape along the Kimble Co Kerr Co line. This arid Texas Hill Country terrain is heavily marked by family-named landmarks and essential livestock watering points, ranging from the Bierschwale Windmill and Garrett Windmill to the Rusty Windmills near Little Draw. The movement of people and goods is centered on the diagonal corridor of the Interstate and the older Old Segovia Road, while an unpaved Landing Strip and a modern Pipeline cut across the drainage of Mudge Draw. Researchers will find a rural landscape where industry is limited to a few scattered Gravel Pits, and agricultural life is anchored by practical structures like the Shearing Barn Windmill and water sources like The Dirt Tank.
