1974 Map of Turkey Mountain

About this map

Turkey Mountain rises as the central landmark of this landscape in Kinney County, Texas, serving as a high point amidst a network of seasonal watercourses. The 1974 field-checked topography shows a terrain defined by drainage patterns, where the West Fork Turkey Creek and East Fork Turkey Creek converge in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These drainages, along with the Arenosa Creek to the west and the East Fork Elm Creek in the southwest, illustrate the intricate hydrologic character of the Edwards Plateau region. Evidence of local industry and access is visible through the presence of a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary and various Jeep Trails and Wells scattered across the cattle-country landscape, reflecting the land use of the mid-1970s.
