About this map

The S Llano River carves through this portion of Edwards County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and ranching infrastructure. Prominent water features such as Blue Hole on the Llano and Dripping Springs serve as critical landmarks in this arid environment. The map details a complex drainage network including Bradford Cr and the winding course of Contrary Cr, which is further divided into the W Prong Contrary Cr.

Evidence of local land use is visible through named ranching features like the Shearing Barn Windmill, Double Round Tank Windmill, and Double Tank Windmill. These structures, along with McKee Spring, represent the essential water management required for life in the Dry Hollow region. Transportation is limited to rural routes like Co Rd 408 and Hackberry Rd, illustrating the low-density, pastoral nature of this Texas Hill Country terrain.
