About this map

The South Llano River carves through the southeastern corner of this Kimble County landscape, serving as a primary hydrological anchor for a network of seasonal drainages and draws. The terrain is defined by a series of named elevations and depressions, including Allison Mtn, Black Mtn, and the prominent Sanders Bluff overlooking the northern valley. Waterways like Bailey Creek and Ratcliff Cr feed into the river system, while the northern boundary is traced by Ranch RD 1674.

Insight into the local land use is visible through the extensive network of ranch roads and named draws such as Wagon Bed Draw and Snake Draw. These features, alongside numerous hollows like Bear Hollow and Cougar Hollow, illustrate the complex drainage patterns that dictate movement and ranching boundaries in this part of the Texas Hill Country. The placement of Rock Springs near Turkey Draw suggests a critical water point in an otherwise arid dissection of the plateau.
