About this map

The Devils River winds through the Edwards Plateau in this mid-1960s study of the Schleicher and Sutton county line. The landscape is defined by the development of the Gas Field and a series of flood control structures identified as Site No 2 through Site No 7. This era of land use is characterized by large private holdings and natural resource extraction, with a network of pipelines and gravel pits supporting local infrastructure. Family ranching legacies are central to the settlement pattern, anchored by the Nixon Ranch, Jones Ranch, and Meckel Ranch. These sites represent the traditional cattle and sheep operations that have historically sustained the regional economy, while the transition toward energy production is evidenced by the numerous gas wells and the Pumping Sta located near De Berry Ranch.
