About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this section of the Texas landscape, creating dramatic features like Wilbargers Bend, Pope Bend, and Hemphill Bend. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Caldwell Knob, while the surrounding lowlands of Hemphill Prairie demonstrate the historical importance of the river plain. Settlement is concentrated around Utley and Webberville, with Wyldwood appearing further south.

Local history and genealogy are exceptionally well-represented through a high density of rural burial sites, including the Coates Family Cem, Walker Watson Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. These landmarks, along with Utley Airport and a network of named watercourses like Wilbarger Cr and Moss Br, provide a clear picture of how family landholdings and small-scale infrastructure have persisted along the river corridor into the modern era.
