About this map

Smith Gap and the rising elevations of the Jameson Peaks define this section of the Texas landscape along the Eastland Co and Erath Co border. The terrain is deeply carved by an intricate network of waterways, including the headwaters of Barton Cr, Rush Cr, and the divided branches of W Fork Armstrong Cr. This topography dictated the placement of early rural infrastructure, with small community centers established on higher ground or near dependable water sources like Dripping Spring. The area reflects a history of local education and faith, evidenced by the presence of Old School Hill Cem and School Hill Cem in the northwestern quadrant, while Mount Zion Cem serves the eastern hills. The later implementation of water management is seen in the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir, which sits at the confluence of several seasonal drainage branches.
