Location
About the Area
W Sd 42000 is located in Rocksprings, Texas, in Edwards County. Edwards County is among the most remote and sparsely populated counties in Texas, a vast limestone plateau of cedar and oak savanna where ranching culture remains unchanged by modern development pressures. Rocksprings, the county seat, is a small ranching community that serves the surrounding ranch operations with no aspirations toward tourism.
The Devils River headwaters originate in Edwards County, and the Nueces River flows through the southern reaches. The terrain is classic Edwards Plateau, flat-topped mesas, limestone cedar breaks, and rocky draws supporting exceptional populations of whitetail deer, turkey, and dove. Elevations reach over 2,400 feet on the high plateau.
Rocksprings had an estimated population of 721 as of 2023. The 78880 zip code has a median household income of $32,325, a median home value of $78,100, and a median age of 44.7. The average household size is 2.55 people.
Edwards County's economy is almost entirely built on ranching and hunting leases, with some of the highest-quality whitetail deer genetics in Texas. The county attracts serious hunting ranch buyers seeking large, remote, low-fence operations at prices reflecting agricultural rather than lifestyle values.
