About this map

Gatesville occupies the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Leon River winds southward through Coryell County. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial drainages including Dodd Br, Cottonwood Cr, and Blue Br, reflecting the rural character of the Texas Hill Country periphery. Aviation infrastructure is prominent here, with both the Gatesville Municipal Airport and McGregor Airport serving the area's transportation needs.

Local history and genealogy researchers may find interest in the Hemelline Cem, located in the western reaches of the quadrangle. The topography rises toward the south at Bald Knob, overlooking a landscape crisscrossed by Farm to Market roads and rural routes such as FM 2412 and Moccasin Bend Rd. Scattered water features like Walker Lake and Anchor Lake provide local landmarks within the undulating hills of the Leon River valley.
