About this map

The Colorado River winds through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the boundaries where Coleman, Concho, and McCulloch counties meet. Surveyed in the mid-1920s, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of drainages including Mercury Creek, Panther Creek, and Salt Creek, which flow toward the river's deep bends. The settlement at Stacy and the nearby community of Doole serve as the primary hubs in an area dominated by rural ranching and early school districts.

Evidence of early transit is clear at Crane Crossing and Brady Bend Crossing, where local travelers navigated the river before modern infrastructure dominated the region. Education was localized and dispersed, as seen by the placement of Hardin Sch, Williams Sch, and East Ganzel Sch. This document represents an early application of aerial photography by the U.S. Army Air Corps to refine the mapping of Texas waterways and culture.
