1971 Map of Turney Draw NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Isolated family outposts like the Paul Turney Ranch and Mayfield Ranch define the settlement pattern of this Edwards County landscape in the early 1970s. The topography is dominated by the winding course of the Dry Devils River and its tributary systems, including Big Turney Draw and Wheat Draw. This survey captures a rural Texas ranching economy where property access and water management are paramount, as seen in the numerous Gravel Pits and scattered Drill Holes that dot the terrain. Subterranean features like Turney Cave and Wheel Cave reflect the area's karst geology, while an isolated Landing Strip suggests the necessity of air travel for reaching these distant homesteads. Local history is etched into the land through family-named features like the Jack Turney Ranch and Adamson Ranch, providing a clear record of land ownership and use during this era of Texas Water Development Board oversight.
