About this map

North Llano River and South Llano River bracket a landscape of deep draws and isolated peaks in this part of Kimble County. The terrain is defined by dramatic relief, rising from the river bottoms to high points like Allison Mountain and Black Mountain. Water is the primary shaping force here, with numerous springs and intermittent streams such as Bois d'Arc Creek and Bailey Spring Creek carving through the limestone plateaus.

Evidence of modern infrastructure is layered over this ranching country, including a prominent Pipeline, a Radio Tower, and several Gas Wells. For those tracing local history or family landmarks, the map identifies specific water sources like Allison Spring and Ratliff Creek Spring, along with named topographic features like Sanders Bluff. The 1987 publication includes revisions from the early 1980s, documenting the presence of a Gravel Pit and a Pumping Sta near the southern river fork.
