1943 Map of Turkey Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The West Nueces River and the Nueces River dominate this 1938 survey of the borderlands between Kinney and Uvalde counties. This landscape is defined by its deep canyons and named hollows, where water sources like Mustang Waterhole and Edwards Waterhole were critical to the local ranching economy. The map identifies numerous family-run operations, including the Harrison Ranch Headquarters, Veltman Ranch, and Whitecotton Ranch, reflecting a sparsely populated but active livestock region. Prominent peaks such as Turkey Mountain, Double Mountain, and Salmon Pk provide significant landmarks across the rugged terrain. Along the Brackettville Road, a modest community infrastructure is visible at the Live Oak Sch and nearby Cem, while the Southern Pacific Railroad skirts the southern edge of the quadrangle, linking these remote ranchlands to wider markets.
