2022 Map of Gorman Falls

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding path through the limestone-dominated landscape where San Saba, Lampasas, and Burnet counties converge. This 2022 survey captures a territory defined by intricate canyon systems and natural water sources, most notably the Gorman Falls and its associated Gorman Spring complex. The area's hydrology is exceptionally dense, with numerous springs and ponds such as Patterson Springs, Cave Pond, and Spicewood Springs surfacing across the ridges. Higher elevations are marked by distinct peaks including Greenwood Mtn, Buzzard Mtn, and Charley Springs Mtn, while the terrain is dissected by deep cuts like Brahma Canyon and Devils Hollow. This map detail reveals a rugged Texas Hill Country environment largely defined by its drainage patterns and named geological points rather than dense urban settlement, with a complex network of recreational trails like the Cedar Chopper Loop Trl and Old Gorman Road Trl providing access to the river's edge.
