About this map

Schleicher, Irion, and Crockett counties meet in this corner of the Edwards Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of the Texas Hill Country's western edge. The confluence of several significant geographical depressions, including Dutch Woman Draw and Nine Draw, illustrates the complex hydrologic network that feeds into Spring Cr in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Most of the land remains divided into large ranching tracts, punctuated only by a sparse network of county roads and local thoroughfares. University Ln and Co Rd 131 provide the primary east-west and north-south transit through this arid terrain. The map's detailed contouring reveals the subtle limestone ridges and basins that characterize the region south toward Dove Creek Draw, offering a clear view of the land's natural state in the early 21st century.
