About this map

Devils River dominates the western portion of this terrain in Val Verde County, carving a deep path through the limestone plateaus of Southwest Texas. The river is fed by the notable Finegan Springs and joined by smaller tributaries like Jack Cr as it winds southward. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, where family names and local landmarks identify the numerous canyons that cut into the high ground.

Prominent landforms such as Telephone Canyon and Huffstudler Canyon speak to the area's ranching heritage and geographic history. To the east, the topography includes several distinct draws, including Live Oak Draw and Burnt Spot Draw, which serve as intermittent waterways during the region's flashier weather events. The map provides a detailed view of these natural features, from the heights of Bluff Canyon to the floor of Falls Canyon, during the mid-2010s.
