2013 Map of Whon

About this map

The Colorado River defines the landscape of this southern Coleman County region, cutting a winding path that historically necessitated numerous fords and landmarks. Named river access points like Military Crossing, Mitchell Crossing, and Knight Crossing highlight the importance of these transit corridors in a ranching-heavy area. Small rural hubs such as Whon and Rockwood anchor the northern and western sections, connected by a network of farm roads and county lanes. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Parks Mtn and Round Mtn, while the presence of Whon Cem and Fife Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogical research. Water management is evident through the Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir, reflecting modern land use alongside older landmarks like the River Bend Ranch Airport.
