2010 Map of Blue Hills

About this map

Blue Hills anchor this high-plains landscape in Val Verde County, where the settlement pattern is defined by isolated ranching operations. The map details the remote infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered on Albers Ranch and Mayfield Ranch. These sites are connected by a sparse network of thoroughfares, including Blue Hill Rd and Ranch Rd 1024, which navigate the subtle drainage systems of the region. The topography is marked by significant natural features such as Lewis Canyon to the southwest and Duncan Draw in the north. This survey illustrates the enduring nature of Texas ranching life, where large tracts of land are managed through a handful of named homesteads and specialized rural roads that follow the contours of the limestone-carved terrain.
