About this map

The town of Brady anchors the northern edge of this McCulloch County landscape, where the street grid of W 17th St gives way to the open ranch land of central Texas. This area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creek beds that have carved distinct geographic features such as Fivemile Hollow and Crooked Hollow. Water management is central to the local economy, evidenced by Reservoir Number Four and various private and county roads like Co Rd 112 that connect the dispersed ranching properties.

Terrain here is characterized by the convergence of several waterways including Bear Cr, Little Bear Cr, and Hog Cr. These creek systems, along with Camp Cr and Rumsey Cr to the south, dictate the placement of rural infrastructure. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the southern outskirts of Brady into the undulating hill country, tracing the path of Ranch Rd 2028 and the network of private roads that provide access to the region's interior.
