About this map

Home Creek winds across this Central Texas landscape, defining the rural character of Coleman County in the early 1960s. The settlement at Rockwood serves as a primary point of interest, while smaller locales like Speck and the La Vista Ranch are situated among the undulating terrain. A distinct industrial presence is evident throughout the quadrangle, marked by numerous Oil Wells, a Gas Well, and several Drill Hole sites, reflecting the mid-century energy production in the region.

Topographical highlights include the prominent Speck Mountain and the dramatic Horseshoe Bend in the southern reaches. Local history researchers will find a small Cem and multiple Gravel Pit extractions scattered near the creek beds. A significant Pipeline corridor cuts through the southwest, illustrating the infrastructure required to move resources across this sparsely populated ranching and drilling territory.
