1970 Map of Rust Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Rust Ranch and Spiller Ranch serve as primary anchors for this ranching landscape along the Menard Co Kimble Co line. Surveyed at the turn of the 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage patterns including Sheen Draw and West Las Moras Creek, which carve through the Edwards Plateau. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the uplands suggests a history of local resource extraction used for road building in this isolated portion of the Texas Hill Country. To the south, Bear Creek and West Bear Creek converge near a permanent Spring, indicating vital water sources for livestock in an otherwise arid environment. A major corridor of Pipelines cuts east-west across the central portion of the map, marking the modern industrial layer superimposed on traditional grazing lands.
