2022 Map of Allen Creek

About this map

Johnson Fork and Allen Creek wind through this corner of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by deep draws like Eli Hollow and Rock House Hollow. The rural character of the region is anchored by the Joy Settlement in the northeast, situated near the Rembold Ranch Cemetery and the waters of Joy Creek. Significant ranching infrastructure is evident through a network of named roads such as Stapp Road and Cummings Road, alongside vital water sources like Headquarters Springs, West Spring, and East Spring. The boundary between Kimble and Kerr counties cuts across the lower third of the quadrangle, passing near Elm Waterhole and Cedar Waterhole. This terrain, dominated by limestone-carved drainages and named lakes like Roach Lake and Moody Lake, reflects a traditional ranching economy where water access remains the primary driver of land use and settlement patterns.
