2016 Map of Holder Creek

About this map

The Divide forms a central geographic spine through this portion of Nolan County, where the high tablelands of the Edwards Plateau begin their descent toward the Texas plains. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Holder Creek and its many offshoots, such as Hoodoo Draw and Robtann Draw, cutting through the terrain. To the north, prominent elevations like Wildcat Mtn and Ninemile Hill rise above the surrounding country, while the northeast corner is marked by the distinct Merry Point overlooking Dill Canyon. Local history is anchored at the Nolan Cem, a significant marker of settlement in this rural landscape. The area's water sources, including Barrel Spring and Boothe Lake, provide vital points of interest for researchers studying the historical development and livestock ranching patterns of this region before the more modern expansion of local road networks.
