1938 Map of Turkey Mountain

About this map

The Nueces River carves a dramatic course through this Kinney and Uvalde county landscape, defined by a network of ranching homesteads and vital water sources in the late 1930s. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Turkey Mountain and Salmon Pk to the river bottoms, where features like Edwards Waterhole and Mustang Waterhole provided essential relief for livestock. Ranching families are the primary footprint on this land, with named sites such as Moss Ranch, Dave Rose Ranch, and the Harrison Ranch Headquarters scattered across the limestone hills and valleys.
