About this map

The boundary between Schleicher Co and Sutton Co divides this ranchland landscape, surveyed in the mid-1960s with revisions through the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses including Buckhorn Draw and Granger Draw, which carve through the Edwards Plateau. Settlement is sparse, characterized by established homesteads like Savell Ranch, Simmons Ranch, and the R Mayer Ranch.

Evidence of infrastructure reflects the region's ranching and industrial utility, from a remote Landing Strip to a Pumping Sta and multiple segments of Pipeline. Several Gravel Pits are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating local resource extraction. The presence of a Radio Tower and Water Tank near the southern border highlights the specific points of development in this open Texas backcountry.
