About this map

The Colorado River meanders across this rural McCulloch County landscape, defining the character of the ranchlands and small communities at the start of the 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Waldrip and the nearby Fife to the southeast, connected by a network of ranch roads like Ranch Rd 765. Evidence of early Texas transport and settlement is found at historic river fords such as Hays Crossing and Chaffin Crossing.

Family and community history is preserved in the grounds of Chaffin Cemetery and Marion Cemetery. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly marked by numerous hollows and creeks, including Rough Hollow, Public Hollow, and the convergence of Bull Creek and Live Oak Creek. Modern infrastructure, such as the Walker Ranch Airport, sits alongside these traditional landforms, illustrating the continuing rural use of the central Texas terrain.
