2022 Map of Lake Abilene

About this map

Lake Abilene anchors the northern portion of this landscape in Taylor County, where the terrain breaks into a series of deeply etched drainages and prominent rises. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and draws including Jordan Hollow, Tenant Hollow, and Coon Hollow, which channel seasonal water toward Elm Creek. Distinctive topographic landmarks such as Steamboat Mtn and Flat Top Mtn rise above the surrounding creek beds, providing clear points of orientation for the ranchlands below. Movement through the area is defined by a mix of established routes like FM 89 and private access ways such as Heinze Ranch Rd and Arrowhead Ranch Rd. To the south, Graham Lake and the various branches of Elmont Cr illustrate the hydrological patterns that have long dictated settlement and land use in this part of West Texas.
