About this map

Zephyr serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape, situated along the crossroads of Highway 183 and FM 218. The map reveals an intricate water management system designed for the local ranching economy, characterized by numerous watershed structures like the Brownwood Lateral Watershed Number 22 and several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs. These man-made features are interwoven with natural drainages such as Blanket Creek and Pecan Creek, illustrating a long-term commitment to soil and water preservation in this rural environment.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks including the Zephyr Cemetery south of town and the Jenkins Cemetery to the northwest. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Lancaster Hill, while the rural road network, featuring routes such as Williamson Ranch Rd and Turkey Peak Rd, provides a clear view of property boundaries and local land use. Other notable landmarks include Ashton Lake and the Blanket Creek Spring, which further highlight the importance of water sources in this region of Brown County.
