HELLERS BRANCH. Hellers Branch rises in a stock tank at the
foot of the eastern slope of Hellers Hill in north central Fayette
County (at 30°02' N, 96°47' W) and runs north for about three miles
to its mouth on the flood control lake formed by Dam Number Ten
on Shaw Creek (at 30°04' N, 96°46' W). The stream traverses flat
to rolling terrain with soils characterized by upper layers of loose
gravelly sand and subsoils of firm, gravelly, clay and sandy loam.
Native vegetation includes mesquite, some pecan trees, and
occasional patches of grasses. The creek is named for Tom and
Louis Heller, who were among the first settlers in nearby Walhalla.

HELLERS HILL. Hellers Hill, named for the families of early
settlers Tom and Louis Heller, is two miles south-southeast of the
Waldeck church in north central Fayette County (at 30°02' N,
96°47' W). Its summit, with an elevation of 555 feet above sea level,
projects about fifty feet above Farm Road 1291, a mile to the
northeast. It stands in gently rolling terrain with soilscharacterized by
a shallow, easily erodible sandy loam surface layer over a very firm
clay subsoil containing volcanic materials. Though the local land isof
marginal value for agriculture, much of it was once used for cotton
production. After the 1950s most of the cotton land reverted to cattle
pasture. Vegetation in the area is primarily scattered clumps of oak
and cedar. The crest of Hellers Hill is occupied by several farm
buildings.
