2019 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

The West Nueces River carves a winding path through the limestone hills and canyons of the Edwards Plateau along the Edwards and Kinney County line. This landscape is defined by its vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment, marked by sites such as Dutch Waterhole, Blue Waterhole, and Silver Springs. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks like Black Mtn and Dutch Mtn, while the drainage system of Dry Sycamore Cr and Sycamore Creek illustrates the intricate watershed feeding into the larger river system. Private land use is evident through several localized landing strips, including Spring Ranch Airport, Leona Ranch Airport, and L Davis Ranch Airport, reflecting the region's ranching economy. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like FM 3199, Cedar Creek RD, and Tularosa RD, which navigate the steep topography of Big Canyon and Leona Draw.
