About this map

Chalk Creek and its many tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern across this section of the Edwards Plateau in the mid-1970s. This survey, based on 1973 aerial photography, illustrates the meeting point of three counties: the Kimble Co Edwards Co border runs through the central portion, while the Edwards Co Kerr Co boundary touches the southeastern corner. The landscape is primarily defined by its hydrology and terrain, with features like Dry Cedar Creek and Boiling Springs indicating the seasonal and spring-fed nature of the local water system.

A large Preserve occupies a central position, suggesting a land-use pattern focused on conservation or private ranching during this era. Long-distance infrastructure is represented by a Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches, while smaller local landmarks like a Well or the family-named Smith Hollow provide specific points of interest for those researching local geography or land ownership in the Hill Country.
