The Devils River winds through the northwestern reaches of Val Verde County, cutting a deep channel through the arid plateau of West Texas. This early 1970s landscape is defined by its ranching infrastructure, where water sources are the primary markers of settlement and activity. Remote operations like Drydale Ranch and Taylor Ranch relied on an extensive network of named water features, including Divide Well and House Well No 2, to sustain life and livestock in the brush country.
