About this map

Jack Turney Ranch and Paul Turney Ranch sit at the heart of this Edwards County landscape, where the ephemeral water systems of the Texas Hill Country dictate the placement of human settlement. The drainage network is dominated by the seasonal Dry Devils River and its various tributaries, including Big Turney Draw and Little Turney Draw. These geographic features reflect a ranching economy where property boundaries often align with the natural flow of water across the limestone terrain.

Remote outposts like Wheat Ranch, Adamson Ranch, and Mayfield Ranch are linked by a sparse road network, illustrating the isolated nature of these large landholdings. To the south, Buffalo Draw cuts through the territory, further defining the local topography. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the persistent land use patterns in this part of West Texas, where the names of early ranching families remain fixed to the land and its draws.
