About this map

The Colorado River meanders across this Central Texas landscape, defining a rural corridor between the settlements of Kirtley and West Point. The area is characterized by a dense network of hydrologic features, where numerous tributaries such as Bartons Creek, Cedar Creek, and Robinson Creek feed into the main river channel. This 2010 survey highlights the established transport routes of the era, including the State Loop 543 and local roads that connect scattered homesteads to the rail-adjacent community of Lena in the south.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by long-standing landmarks like the Woods Prairie Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery, which mark early burial grounds for the area's rural population. In the northwest, Shipp Lake sits near the river's edge, while smaller seasonal branches like Bo Branch and Busby Branch drain the wooded uplands. The road names, such as W Pt Depot Lp and W Point Depot Ln, preserve the memory of the community's connection to the regional rail infrastructure.
