1974 Map of Kelley Peak

About this map

Kelley Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Texas Hill Country, documented by the Texas Water Development Board and the U.S. Geological Survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and springs, including Winans Spring and Pecan Spring, which were vital water sources in this arid Edwards County environment. The map captures a primarily rural and ranch-oriented topography where movement is dictated by the winding courses of Sycamore Creek and several Jeep Trails. A small Cem and a Gravel Pit near the creek beds point to localized historical land use and early resource extraction. The density of contour lines illustrates the sharp relief typical of the Balcones Escarpment's western edges, where features like Rock Hollow and Rough Sycamore Creek carve through the limestone plateau.
