2016 Map of Pearl

About this map

Pearl sits at the intersection of rural ranch roads in this Central Texas landscape, where the headwaters of several significant creek systems originate. The terrain is defined by prominent high points and passes, including Fletchers Point and the strategic Live Oak Gap, which likely influenced early travel routes through the region. Water remains the primary shaper of this environment, with the winding paths of Cowhouse Cr and N Bee House Cr cutting through the limestone-influenced topography. Numerous named water sources like Old Cottonwood Spring and Kendrick Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water in this ranching country. The map also records the jurisdictional boundaries where Coryell County meets Hamilton and Lampasas counties, illustrating the settlement pattern across these high divides and drainage basins such as Cromeans Cr and Bullard Cr.
