About this map

The West Texas ranchlands of Schleicher and Sutton counties appear here as a landscape defined by industrial development and dry-wash drainage systems. The terrain is marked by the presence of numerous family-named properties, including Mertz Ranch, Caralita Ranch, and Steen Ranch, illustrating the vast pastoral landholdings of the mid-20th century. This area is heavily influenced by the petroleum industry, with extensive development visible across the Gas Field and localized Oil Field operations, supported by a network of unimproved roads and specialized infrastructure like Gas Wells and drill holes.
