2013 Map of Utley

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating dramatic oxbows at Pope Bend, Wilbargers Bend, and Hemphill Bend. This 2013 survey shows the evolving character of the river valley, where traditional agricultural land at Hemphill Prairie meets modern residential growth. The unincorporated communities of Utley and Wyldwood serve as local anchors, with Wyldwood showing significant suburbanization south of Highway 71. Local history is preserved at the Walker Watson Cem and highlighted by landmarks like Caldwell Knob. The drainage network is dense, defined by numerous tributaries including Wilbarger Cr, Coleman Br, and Red Gully Cr, which illustrate the erosion patterns across Moccasin Cyn. The map reflects a landscape in transition, where old ranch roads like Old Austin Trl now intersect with newer residential developments.
