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.

Young Localities

Young used a location notation of the form 'year-sequentialNumber'. These are recorded in the notebooks in the box in the PRC 122 hall on the right hand side labeled "Historic Notebooks, Field Localities, Adkins & Young".

Young also used aerial photographs.  For Travis Co. these are prefixed with 'DMI'.  But I (M. Smith) have been unable to make his measurements line up with known localities.  For more detail, see Z:\DocLib\GeoReferencing\DMI-Young

Cerro de Tecolote 1Travis30.300010, -97.809700WellsHill 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 2Travis30.289726, -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.

This was tough to track down. The Clear Fork of the Brazos forks west today before it gets to Abilene. 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.
