2016 Map of Blanco

About this map

The Blanco River snakes through the Texas Hill Country, anchoring the community of Blanco at a junction of historic roads and waterways. This landscape is defined by its spring-fed hydrology, evidenced by Koch Springs and Beckman Springs, and a dense network of local creeks including McKinney Creek and Schuetz Creek. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, such as McKinney Cem, Wegner Cem, and the Twin Sisters Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of Tatum Ranch Airport and the Cross Triangle Ranch Airport suggests a rural economy where private aviation integrates with traditional ranching. The terrain is marked by notable depressions and gaps, most significantly Stubbins Gap, while the civic center of Blanco is detailed down to its street grid, including Main Street and Pecan Street.
