About this map

Kelley Peak stands as the primary landmark in this section of Edwards County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The terrain is deeply incised by watercourses such as Sycamore Creek and Spring Creek, which reveal the erosive power of seasonal flow in the Texas Hill Country. Named water sources like Winans Spring and Pecan Spring suggest the importance of reliable water in this environment, likely serving as historic focal points for livestock and land management in an otherwise arid region.

Transportation is limited to corridors like Cedar Creek Rd, which winds through the high ground above Rock Hollow. The mapping of Rough Sycamore Cr and Lost Cr highlights the complex topography of the Edwards Plateau, where deep canyons and limestone draws dominate the geography. This survey provides a clear view of the natural landmarks and remote drainage patterns that have shaped the rural character of this part of Texas for generations.
