Edwards County High Point Trip Report

I did the Edwards County HP after reaching the White County HP at Boyd Hill. From Boyd Hill travel north on county road 950E, passing over I-65. Make a right (east) onto county road 2550N which turns into 2575N and 000N, the Edwards/White county line. Make a left (north) at 400E. Continue past 300N on the left and turn right (east) at 325N (?).

From here, the road erratically leads to the southeast across oil fields and private residences. Pass a few houses, then a communications tower and silo are visible to the right. This is the high area. Unfortunately, the first dirt road to the top shown on the topo and Delorme does not exist. Continue past bends in the road and a few oil tanks on the left until you come to a brown house at a sharp left (east) turn. Just before reaching the house, a small dirt road, shown on the topo and Delorme, is to the right. Take the road a short distance until you see a red gate and the silo and tower in clear view to the right(north).

Walk to the high area, which appears to be around the silo.
