About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Coleman and McCulloch counties, defining a landscape of deep creek drainages and prominent rises like Parks Mtn and Round Mtn. Near the northern boundary, the small settlement of Whon is centered around a network of rural roads such as Whon Rd and Co Rd 225, with the nearby Whon Cem serving as a primary genealogical landmark for the area.

Downstream, the river passes through a series of dramatic bends near Deer Hollow, while numerous tributaries like Old Boggy Cr and Cow Cr feed into the main channel. Evidence of local land management is seen at the Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir on Camp Cr. Further west, the community of Rockwood sits at a crossroads, while aviation interests are represented by the River Bend Ranch Airport, tucked into a large meander of the river.
