About this map

Scallorn and Lee Gap define the rural crossroads of this central Texas landscape where the boundary between Mills and Lampasas County cuts diagonally across the terrain. The topography is shaped by the drainages of Antelope Creek and the various branches of Simms Creek, including North Simms Creek, Bee Cove Creek, and Bear Cove Creek. These waterways carve through the limestone hills, most notably around the prominent elevation of Bread Tray Mountain.

Transportation is dominated by a network of county roads and the paved route of US Highway 183, which passes near Antelope Gap. The presence of the Birchfield Ranch Airport in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the continued importance of private aviation in managing large ranching properties. Small water features like Clift Lake provide essential resources in this undulating ranch country, where the road network follows the natural contours of the ridges and valleys.
