About this map

Spring Creek meanders eastward across this Central Texas landscape, defining the topography of the boundary between Irion and Tom Green counties. The settlement of Knickerbocker sits in the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point for local history along with the nearby Tankersley Cem, which preserves the names of early ranching families. The transportation network is a mix of modern infrastructure and rural tradition, with the paved corridor of S Fm 2335 connecting remote properties to larger hubs.

Private aviation and ranching operations characterize the land use, evidenced by the Hunter's Creek Airport and the numerous family-named roads like Woehl Rd and Duncan Rd. The presença of Byler Spring and the drainage of Dove Cr highlight the critical role of water sources in this arid environment, where historical settlement patterns followed the reliable flow of the creeks through the Edwards Plateau foothills.
