2012 Map of Castle Peak

About this map

O'Neal remains a focal point in this portion of Mills County, where the historic Oneal Cem sits near the headwaters of N Simms Cr. The landscape is defined by its distinct topography, characterized by a series of named elevations and hidden drainages such as Payne Mtn and Snipes Cove. A network of rural county roads, including Co RD-339 and Co RD-123, connects scattered homesteads through the rugged gaps. To the south, the terrain descends through Waggoner Gap and Chalk Gap as waterways like Kinchelo Cr and Bee Cave Cr flow toward the lower basins. The prominence of Castle Peak and the curiously named Horsethief Cove suggest a history of local lore and landmark navigation in this ranching region of Central Texas.
