USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Rock Island sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the Colorado County terrain. The 1965 topography reveals a community shaped by both ranching and natural drainage, with the sprawling Buzzard Prairie and Griffin Lake to the north. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Leher Canal in the southeast and the winding paths of Skull Creek and Crasco Creek.
