About this map

The settlement of Blowout anchors this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where ranch roads and creek drainages dictate the local geography. Long-established burial grounds including Comanche Cemetery and Davis Cemetery reflect the area's pioneer heritage, situated near the banks of Comanche Creek. The landscape is defined by its distinct limestone topography, featuring prominent elevations such as Smith Mountains, Tabletop Mountain, and Indian Peak.

Water sources are vital to this terrain, represented by names like Blackjack Spring and the complex drainage system of White Creek, Middle Creek, and Zigzag Creek. Transport across this ranching territory relies on a network of named routes including A Davis Ranch Rd and Comanche Creek Rd. Local descriptive names for landforms, such as Rattlesnake Flat, Red Bluff, and Indian Head, suggest a history of navigation through the rugged draws and hollows that separate the various mountain peaks.
