2010 Map of Gorman Falls

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through this section of Burnet County, shaping a landscape defined by deep canyons and prominent limestone ridges. Near a sharp bend in the river, the notable Gorman Falls and Gorman Spring mark a significant hydrological focal point, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by named features like Brahma Canyon and Windy Canyon. The presence of Southwest Ledge Quarries in the northeast suggests the area's geological utility, while several ranching and camp sites, including Jackson Ranch, Vann Ranch, and Lemons Springs Camp, indicate a land use pattern rooted in large-scale property ownership and seasonal river access. Transport across this uneven ground is facilitated by routes like Farm Rd 580 and various county roads that thread through the Ellenburger Hills and across numerous creek branches, including Yancey Creek and Cherokee Creek.
