About this map

Potosi sits at the heart of this landscape, characterized by the transition from the expanding outskirts of Abilene to the rugged southern terrain of the Callahan Divide. In the north, Kirby Lake and Flying W Airport serve as major landmarks near the suburban fringe, while the unincorporated community of Potosi is anchored by its local institutions, specifically the Potosi School and Potosi Cemetery.

The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals a shift toward managed water resources and distinct geological features like Bear Cove and Lytle Cove. The drainage network, featuring Lytle Creek and the South Prong Pecan Bayou, is heavily influenced by regional infrastructure, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 4a Reservoir and associated dams. This survey documents the intersection of modern residential development and established rural landmarks during the early 21st century.
