2016 Map of Sandy Fork

About this map

Thompsonville and the community of Sandy Fork anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Caldwell and Gonzales counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named creek systems, including Scruggs Creek, Reed Creek, and Smith Creek, which carve into local features like Chalk Hollow and Long Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and rural character of the region, where family-linked landmarks such as the Fuillilove Cemetery and Haschke Cemetery serve as important nodes for genealogical research. The presence of private aviation strips like Flying W Ranch Airport and Gottwald Field indicates the specialized land use common in this part of South Central Texas, while the western edge of the map includes the settlement of Harwood situated along major transit corridors.
