About this map

Thompsonville and the namesake Sandy Fork settlement anchor this landscape along the border of Caldwell and Gonzales Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Scruggs Cr, Reed Cr, and Dry Run, which carve through the terrain near notable depressions like Chalk Hollow and Long Hollow. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of early road networks, such as Silvermine Rd and Wagonwheel Rd, which connect the small rural communities and local family holdings.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of several landmarks. Researchers will find the Fullilove Cem and Haschke Cem, alongside small-scale aviation sites like Gottwald Field and the Flying W Ranch Airport. To the west, the community of Harwood sits near the crossing of several county roads, illustrating the persistent rural character of this Central Texas corridor between major highway developments.
