About this map

South Llano River carves through the southeastern corner of this Kimble County landscape, a vital water source in an area defined by complex drainage networks. Significant groundwater sites like Coleman Springs and Rock Springs are tucked into the drainages of the Edwards Plateau, feeding a system of creeks and draws. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Allison Mtn, Black Mtn, and Sanders Bluff, which rise above a series of named hollows including Bear Hollow and Indian Hollow.

A network of ranch and county roads, such as Ranch Rd 1674 and Bois d'Arc Rd, provides access across the broken ground, connecting disparate ranching interests. The naming of features like Wagon Bed Draw and Cougar Hollow reflects the historical cattle-ranching culture of the Texas Hill Country. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks through Allison Draw and Burt Ranch Rd, following the paths of seasonal watercourses like Bailey Cr and Cajac Cr.
