About this map

Rockwood and Whon anchor the northern landscape of this 1924 survey, which documents the winding course of the Colorado River as it carves through the central Texas plains. The map illustrates a transitional period in rural transportation, noting established river access points such as Military Crossing and Mitchel Crossing that were vital for local commerce and movement between Coleman and McCulloch counties.

Social and communal life is anchored by the Cow Creek Tabernacle in the south, while the topography is defined by prominent features like Parks Mt and the steep Bluff overlooking the river bends. This sheet was uniquely produced using aerial photographs from the Air Service, U. S. Army, providing a look at the drainage patterns of Home Creek, Cedar Creek, and Cow Creek before significant modern development altered these tributary systems.
