About this map

Steamboat Mtn and Hermans Point anchor the high ground in this section of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is carved by the Little Devils River and its numerous tributaries. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, with named draws and hollows such as Rayner Hollow and Long Hollow providing natural drainage towards the Falls Prong. Water is a central element of the terrain, marked by the namesake The Falls and several reliable sources including Garden Spring and Falls Prong Spring.

Evidence of local industry and community history is present through labels like Gypsum Mine Rd and the Anderegg Cem. The transition from Kimble County into Gillespie County is documented alongside a network of ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 385 and Lehmann Rd, which connect remote homesteads and agricultural land. The White Oak Cr Reservoir serves as a modern modification to the watershed, contrasting with the ancient, rugged limestone features that characterize this portion of the Edwards Plateau.
