2012 Map of Antelope Gap

About this map

Bread Tray Mtn rises as a prominent landmark in this region of Mills County, where the Texas hill country transition is marked by numerous watercourses. The drainage network is dense with seasonal and perennial flows, including N Simms Cr, Bee Cove Cr, and Bear Cove Cr, which carve through the terrain near Long Cove. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape of established rural settlements and ranching history, centering on locations like Pleasant Grove and Scallorn. Transportation routes such as FM-2942 and Scallorn Rd connect these remote communities, while the Birchfield Ranch Airport suggests the modern integration of aviation into the large-scale ranching operations of the area. Family and local history researchers can trace the roads leading to Antelope Gap and Lee Gap, defining the natural passes used by generations of residents.
