About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the jagged border between Coleman and McCulloch counties. The small settlement of Waldrip sits on the southern bank, north of Ranch Road 765, which serves as a primary east-west artery through the region. To the southeast lies the community of Fife, while Rockwood occupies the northeastern corner of the map. These rural outposts are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the local topography of drainages and basins.

Local history is preserved in sites like Chaffin Cemetery near a deep bend in the river and Marion Cemetery further south. The terrain is marked by distinctive erosion features including Rough Hollow, Public Hollow, and Yoho Hollow. These valleys feed into a complex system of tributaries such as Bull Creek, Live Oak Creek, and Saddle Creek, which eventually contribute to the Colorado River watershed. The map reveals a land primarily shaped by ranching interests and the natural course of the water.
