2019 Map of Speck Mountain

About this map

Rockwood sits at the southwestern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Home Creek and its various tributaries like Dry Cr and Hay Cr. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and water management, evidenced by La Vista Ranch and several large basins including the Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir. Prominent topographical features such as Speck Mtn and the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle. For those researching local family histories, the locations of Stewardson Cem and Five Ashes Cem are clearly marked, providing vital geographic context for ancestral homesteads in Coleman County. The network of county and private roads, such as Whon Rd and Wise Ranch Rd, illustrates the modern rural connectivity of this ranching country.
