1978 Map of Flat Rock Creek North

About this map

Sycamore Creek and Flat Rock Creek dominate this Edwards County landscape, carving through the limestone terrain of the Texas Hill Country. The 1970s survey illustrates a ranching and resource-extraction economy, marked by several Gravel Pits and isolated settlements like Hayes and Maurice. Water security is a central theme of the map, evidenced by the numerous marked sources including New Well, High Well, and a Drill Hole. The subterranean character of the region is highlighted by features such as Midnight Cave and Indian Gap, reflecting the karst topography common to this part of the state. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access to Maurice Canyon, showing how the local population navigated the steep elevation changes and winding drainage patterns long before modern infrastructure reached these interior rangelands.
