About this map

The unincorporated community of Rochelle serves as the focal point for this survey of the McCulloch County ranchlands. Situated along the intersection of local routes like FM 1121 and FM 2315, the small settlement is supported by a network of rural county roads that traverse the rolling limestone terrain. To the southeast of the main cluster of buildings lies the Rochelle Cemetery, a significant landmark for those tracing local family lineages and pioneer history.

The landscape is defined by its seasonal watercourses, including the westward-flowing Brady Creek and the meandering paths of Onion Creek and Little Onion Creek. Prominent topographic features such as Bryson Hill and the drainage of Sweden Hollow provide natural landmarks in an otherwise open country characterized by agricultural plots and scrubland. The drainage patterns of Deep Creek and Little Brady Creek illustrate the watershed of the northern Edwards Plateau, documenting the rural infrastructure and land use of the early twenty-first century.
