2010 Map of Bob Creek

About this map

Gilkerson Cemetery serves as a lone memorial to early settlement in this corner of King County, located along the north-south path of Carothers road. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Bob Creek as it winds southward toward the Salt Fork Brazos River, which forms the southern boundary of the map. Ranching activity is evident through the inclusion of the Martin Ranch and various water management features essential for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Numerous named reservoirs and dams, such as Springer Lake, Parramore Ranch Lake, and Brushy Tank, illustrate the local reliance on surface water storage. Minor drainages like Pen Branch and Brushy Creek further detail the local topography, while cattle operations are linked by a network of county roads including Co RD 448 and Co RD 431.
