2013 Map of Darst Creek

About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, which is defined by a dense network of watercourses and family-named landmarks. The presence of the Darst Oil Field on the eastern edge of the quadrangle signals the region's industrial heritage, while aviation is represented by the Lackorn Airport located near the center of the sheet. For those tracing family history, several smaller burial grounds are documented, including Brenner Cem, Jahns Cem, Matthies Cem, and Eden Cem. The terrain features distinct named areas such as Sandy Hollow and the Twin Creeks region. A complex system of tributaries, including Nash Cr, Sawlog Cr, and Saul Cr, feeds the primary river basin, supporting water bodies like Holmes Lake and Bishop Lake.
