2016 Map of Thomas Springs

About this map

Zion Hill Cem stands as a focal point of local history in this rural landscape at the border of Guadalupe and Wilson counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, most notably the south-flowing Ecleto Cr and its tributary, E Fork Ecleto Cr, which carve through the undulating elevations near Kings Hill. This topography shaped the local road network, where routes like Hysaw Rd and Tumbleweed navigate the divides between watercourses. Named features such as Thomas Springs and Gold Pool Br indicate the vital role of water sources in this ranching and agricultural region. The map preserves the names of early family-founded roads and landmarks, providing a clear record of the area's rural development and land use patterns prior to more modern suburban expansion from nearby population centers.
