About this map

The Callahan Divide forms the prominent geographic spine of this Taylor County landscape, separating the drainage basins of several local creeks. In the northeastern corner, the settlement of View sits at the intersection of Main St and the highway, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and farming lands. The area is defined by its dramatic limestone mesas and peaks, including Buzzard Mtn, Round Top Mtn, and the distinctive Cat Heads.

Genealogists will find the Drummond Cem located near White Mines Rd, a quiet marker of the families who settled this high country. Water flows through various draws and canyons, such as Lewis Canyon and Coon Hollow, feeding into Little Elm Cr and Horse Fall Cr. This 2022 survey documents a persistent network of county roads, including Hillside Rd and Braune Rd, that navigate the complex relief of the divide.
