About this map

Rocksprings serves as the focal point of this Edwards County survey, situated at the junction of historic travel routes including Sonora Rd and Del Rio Rd. The town grid is clearly defined, centered on W Main St and W Bandera St, illustrating the concentrated development of this high-altitude county seat. Just north of the town center, Old Rock Springs provides a direct link to the original water source that gave the settlement its name.

The surrounding plateau is characterized by ephemeral water features and stock tanks essential for ranching in this arid environment. Significant landmarks include Dry Drow in the northwest and Hackberry Cr winding through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Man-made catchments like Bates Tank and Cedar Pond highlight the pastoral land use that defines the region outside the immediate town limits.
