About this map

The James River snakes through the rugged limestone landscape of the Edwards Plateau in this modern survey of eastern Kimble County. The small community of Noxville sits near the confluence of local tributaries, where the James River Spring provides a critical water source in a territory defined by its hydrologic features. The map documents an intricate network of springs scattered across the high country, including Hollow Pasture Spring, Trough Spring, and Walker Spring, which historically supported ranching operations in this part of the Texas Hill Country.

Transportation is dominated by the winding path of Ranch Road 385 and numerous county routes like Cedar Springs Road that follow the natural contours of the land. Landmarks such as the prominent White Bluff and the narrow passage at Cedar Gap illustrate the dramatic vertical relief. This study also captures the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Little Devils River and Jim Little Draw, essential for understanding the local environment and early settlement patterns.
