2010 Map of Roundhead

About this map

Tivydale and the namesake Roundhead area anchor this digital-era survey of central Gillespie County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial drainages. The hydrology is dominated by Spring Creek, which snakes through the center of the sheet, joined by numerous tributaries including Dittmar Creek and Devils Creek. This map reveals a contemporary rural Texas landscape characterized by sparse ranching settlements and a complex web of local roads that follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. The abundance of named watercourses, from Mormon Creek in the northwest to Middle Creek and Honey Creek in the east, reflects a terrain where water access has historically dictated the placement of homesteads and transport routes in the Hill Country.
