1973 Map of Whon

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding path through this central Texas landscape, marking the boundary between Coleman Co and McCulloch Co. This 1970s survey captures a transition point in rural infrastructure, where historical river access points like Mitchell Crossing, Knight Crossing, and Military Crossing remain prominent features of the local geography. The settlement of Whon and its associated Whon Cem serve as the primary community anchor in the northern portion of the sheet, complemented by Rockwood to the northwest. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Parks Mountain and Round Mountain, while the drainage network including Old Boggy Creek and Cow Creek illustrates the rugged hydrological patterns characteristic of the Edwards Plateau periphery. A modern Landing Strip and Roadside Park reflect the era's evolving transportation needs alongside established rural sites like Fife Cem.
