2016 Map of Whon

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding path through the central Texas landscape along the border of Coleman and McCulloch counties. This ranching and agricultural region is anchored by the small community of Whon, situated north of the river near several water management features, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir and the headwaters of Camp Cr. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Parks Mtn and Round Mtn, which rise above the surrounding creek drainages. Local family history is preserved at the Whon Cem and the more isolated Fife Cem to the southwest. Transport in the area relies on a network of rural routes like Ranch Rd 765, providing access to remote locations like Deer Hollow and the River Bend Ranch Airport, reflecting the region's low-density settlement and reliance on river-bottom topography.
