About this map

The William James Vaughan Cem serves as a quiet focal point in this portion of Menard County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Elm Cr system. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, with numerous named draws and hollows such as Fox Hollow, North Coon Hollow, and Hog Hollow cutting through the limestone terrain. The presence of Coleman Spring and Coleman Spring Draw underscores the importance of reliable water sources in this ranching country.

Large family landholdings are evidenced by the naming of access routes, including 76 Ranch Rd, Walker Ln, and Allcorn Ranch RD. While FM 1773 provides the primary east-west corridor, the network of ranch roads and trails like Hat Creek Trl suggests a landscape managed for livestock and resource access. The map captures the enduring rural character of the Edwards Plateau, where geographic names often reflect early settler families and the physical realities of the Texas hill country.
