1974 Map of Bailey Creek

About this map

The North Llano River and South Llano River define the hydrology of this Kimble County landscape as it was recorded in the mid-1970s. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage ways like Wagon Bed Draw, Snake Draw, and Allison Draw, highlighting the erosional patterns typical of the Edwards Plateau. Prominent elevations such as Allison Mountain and Black Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Copperas Creek and Bois d'Arc Creek. This survey period marks a point when energy infrastructure was becoming integrated into the rural landscape, evidenced by several Gas Well sites and a prominent Pipeline corridor. The presence of numerous watering points, including Indian Spring, Rock Springs, and Bear Spring, suggests a landscape historically managed for livestock and resource extraction. Significant local watercourses like Bailey Spring Creek and Cajac Creek flow through the southern reaches, connecting the upland draws to the primary river system.
