2022 Map of Blowout

About this map

The Gillespie Co Blanco Co line bisects this portion of the Texas Hill Country, defining a landscape of high limestone ridges and deeply etched spring basins. Family heritage is anchored by secluded burial sites like the Roberts - Shelley - Hardin Cem and Comanche Cem, which sit among the headwaters of Comanche Cr and White Cr. The terrain is characterized by distinctive summits including Tabletop Mtn, Coon Mtn, and Smith Mountains. Settlement patterns are sparse, with the Hauptrief Aero Airport and ranch roads like Ranch Rd 1323 providing the primary modern interventions. The area's hydrology is particularly dense, with Sultemeier Springs and Blackjack Spring feeding a complex network of seasonal branches that have long dictated the placement of homesteads and cattle operations.
