1938 Map of Turkey Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Turkey Mountain rises as a central landmark in this 1938 survey of the Kinney and Uvalde county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the divided course of the West Nueces River, which carves through a region dominated by large family ranching operations. Numerous historic sites are documented, including the Harrison Ranch Headquarters, the Dave Rose Ranch, and the Stoner Ranch near the northeastern corner. This era of West Texas land use is clearly visible through the density of windmills, such as the Nolan Postell Windmill, which provided essential water for livestock in a territory where natural sources like Edwards Waterhole and Mustang Waterhole were critical hubs. The northern reaches of the map show the community infrastructure of the time, centered around the Live Oak Sch and a small Cem, while the southern edge is clipped by the rail corridor of the Pacific Southern.
