2012 Map of Big Draw

About this map

Llano River and Johnson Fork define the southern hydrology of this Central Texas landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is characterized by significant topographic features such as Teacup Mtn and the namesake Big Draw, which dominate the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. For those researching the local heritage of Kimble County, the presence of the Gentry Creek Cem near the intersection of Caldwell Rd and Sullivan Rd provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The mapping reveals a network of county roads, such as Jordan Conger Rd and Gentry Creek Rd, that lace together the drainage basins of Gentry Cr and Red Cr. This area remains largely defined by its water sources, including Gorman Spring and the Gorman Draw in the northwest, illustrating the long-term reliance of regional ranching or settlement on these natural features.
