1896 Map of Nueces

USGS Topo · Published 1911

About this map

The upper Nueces River valley in the early 1890s appears as a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and high limestone breaks. This survey by A.H. Thompson and R.U. Goode documents a transitional era for the Balcones Escarpment, where water sources like Kickapoo Spring, Black Water Hole, and Polecat Springs determined the placement of early settlements. Isolated family operations such as Ford and Holliday Ranch and Wheat and Luckys Ranch dot the creek drainage systems, illustrating the early footprint of the Texas Hill Country cattle industry.
