Ranches and Found Places

These two tables, locations prefixes and locations, represent some that were tricky to track down. Note that many of the maps that are included as figures in a publication often have explicitly marked locations, especially those like 120-T-24 (e.g. county-T-site). So tracking down a publication that mentions a specimen from a particular location can be a big win. The first table below lists some supporting resources for both NPL standard and publication specific location numbers. Some sources are documented in the maps (Map OM-n) listed at the end of this page.

I used the website at https://geo.leventhalmap.org/maps/2092 to warp the Geological map of a portion of West Texas, 1904, Hill and Auden in order to load it into Google Earth. As a result some of the locations are off by some miles. You may want to look at that map more closely to figure out a better location for these.

Re more on ranches in Maverick, Dimmit, Zavala, and Webb counties, I have also inserted to images from Trowbridge, 1932 (Tertiaray and Quaternary geology of the Lower Rio Grande Region, Texas, US Geological Survey Bulletin 836, 1932) at the end of this page.

If you are looking for something specific, use Control+F (Command+F on a Mac) to search within this web page.

Some of the detailed data in these sources has been included in the Wiki - see the links in the notes sections below.

Counties are in Texas unless otherwise indicated.

But back in the day, on various maps, (1897-TX-Taylor... and 1857-TaylorCo-AsylumLands) this is in Taylor County. In the Texas land office surveys, Lunatic Asylum and Blind Asylum Lands are abbreviated LAL and BAL.

Cerro de Tecolote 1	Travis	30.300010, -97.809700	Wells	Hill of Owls. This is based on the well map. This was W. S. Adkins property in West Lake Hills. I believe it is one of these two hills. The well was completed in 1939. This corresponds to the map in the document showing the wells of Travis Co., so I am currently going with that. Both of these hills are rougly the right height, though I think the elevations circa 1940 were off. The well is supposed to be at 990 ft. but the tops of these hills are around 970.
Cerro de Tecolote 2	Travis	30.289726, -97.812651		Hill of Owls. This is Spillar Hill. This was W. S. Adkins property in West Lake Hills. I believe it is one of these two hills. It was said to have a view of the Capitol and be visible from the UT Tower. This location is closer to then-existing roads (the well was completed in 1939) and there is a community there called Spiller Hill, which is one of the Cerro de Tecolote sites. Both of these hills are roughly the right height.
