About this map

The rugged divide between Kimble and Gillespie counties is defined by a complex network of draws and springs. The landscape centers on the namesake The Falls, where Falls Prong descends toward the headwaters of the Little Devils River. This area is characterized by a mix of ranching roads and water management features, including the White Oak Cr Reservoir and various family-named landmarks such as Anderegg Cem.

Topographical prominent points like Steamboat Mtn and Hermans Point overlook deep drainages like Rayner Hollow and Bone Hollow. The network of springs, including Garden Spring and Falls Prong Spring, illustrates the critical importance of water sources in this elevated Texas Hill Country terrain. Local transit is managed via a web of rural routes like Gypsum Mine Rd and Diamond V Ranch Rd, connecting isolated homesteads and family ranch lands.
