2013 Map of Chalk Mountain

About this map

Chalk Mountain serves as the focal point for this 2013 topographic survey, marking the transition between the watershed of Rough Cr and the upper reaches of the E Bosque River. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct drainage basins and family-named landmarks, such as Big Kid Hollow and Buffalo Hollow, which weave through the terrain. Evidence of local ranching and water management is clear from the numerous small reservoirs like Lesley Lake, Seals Lake, and Shipman Lake. Transportation in this part of Erath County is anchored by the crossing of Highway 67 and Highway 220, while aviation infrastructure is represented by the Circle Eight Ranch Airport to the northeast. Notable elevations include the eponymous Chalk Mtn and the isolated rise of Lone Mtn to the west.
