2012 Map of Blowout

About this map

The settlement of Blowout anchors this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds reflect the deep roots of Blanco County ranching life. Rural roads like A Davis Ranch Rd and Althaus Davis Rd wind through a landscape defined by prominent rises such as the Smith Mountains, Indian Peak, and Tabletop Mtn. The hydrology of the area is particularly noteworthy, with numerous water sources like Comanche Spring, Blackjack Spring, and Sultemeier Springs feeding into a network of creeks including White Cr and Comanche Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Comanche Cem and Davis Cem, providing specific points of reference for the families that settled this area. From the elevations of Coon Mtn to the low expanse of Rattlesnake Flat, the map reveals the varied topography that dictated the placement of early homesteads and stock trails.
