About this map

The borderlands of Eastland and Erath counties are defined by a complex network of high points and seasonal drainages, anchored by the prominent Reddy Mtn and Country Knob. This central Texas landscape is dotted with essential water sources like Cottonwood Spring, Indian Spring, and Rock Hole Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers in this arid region. The presence of several numbered reservoirs, including Thurber Lake Number 4 and Thurber Lake Number 5, indicates a managed water system supporting local activity.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several small burial grounds, such as Jay Bird Cem and Tudor Cem, situated among the ridgelines. The area maintains a rural, ranch-based character, evidenced by the Moore Ranch Airport and landmarks like North Shelton Rock and South Shelton Rock. Numerous creeks, including Fork Palo Pinto Cr and Deer Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Texas Hill Country outskirts.
