2010 Map of Spring Creek Gap

About this map

The North Bosque River winds through this central Texas landscape, anchoring a rural territory defined by its watercourses and early family settlements. In the northeastern corner, the town of Iredell sits near the junction of major county roads and the river, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with historical markers of long-standing local families. Genealogists can identify the locations of the Barbee Cemetery in the northwest and the Proffitt Cemetery further south, providing specific geographical points for family history research. The terrain is marked by the eponymous Spring Creek Gap and a network of drainages including Duffau Creek, Honey Creek, and Fall Creek. Human modification of the watershed is evidenced by Fillingim Lake Dam, which interrupts the natural flow north of the Bailey Branch tributary. This survey captures the region as a stable ranching and agricultural district, crisscrossed by a detailed grid of county roads like Co RD 234 and Co RD 233.
