2010 Map of Utley

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating dramatic meanders known as Pope Bend, Wilbargers Bend, and Hemphill Bend. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Hemphill Prairie to the local high point at Caldwell Knob, illustrating the flood-plain topography typical of the region. This 2010 survey documents the settlement patterns of Utley and Wyldwood, where residential growth is increasingly visible along historical routes like the Old Bastrop Hwy. For those researching local family history, the Walker-Watson Cemetery remains a key landmark north of the river. The map also traces various tributaries, including Wilbarger Creek and Greens Creek, which define the drainage patterns before they join the main river channel.
