1959 Map of Gorman Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic, winding course through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the jagged boundaries between San Saba, Lampasas, and Burnet Counties. This 1959 field-checked survey reveals a rugged ranching terrain marked by numerous springs and canyons, such as Gorman Spring and Eagle Canyon. The map details the local hydrology and topographic relief that leads to the notable Gorman Falls. Settlement is characterized by established ranching outposts including Jackson Ranch and Smith Ranch, along with recreational or seasonal sites like Lemons Springs Camp. The river itself creates distinctive landforms like McAnelly Bend and Browns Bend, while the surrounding uplands of Lemons Ridge and the Big Thicket are dissected by countless draws and hollows. Industrial activity is represented by the Southwest Ledge Quarries and various gravel pits, reflecting the area's geological utility.
