2016 Map of Shep
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Shep and Happy Valley anchor the western portion of this Taylor County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the upland heights of Flat Top Mtn to the riparian corridors of Valley Cr and Bluff Cr. The region is defined by an extensive water management system, featuring several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs including Site 14 and Site 15. These man-made features contrast with natural drainage patterns like Horse Hollow and the various forks of Spring Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Shep Cem and Bluff Creek Cem. The settlement pattern is largely rural, connected by a network of county roads like Co RD 227 and Co RD 216 that trace the varied topography of the Texas Hill Country fringe.
