About this map

North Llano River flows across this Sutton County landscape, a vital water source in an area defined by large family holdings and sprawling ranching operations. The terrain is marked by significant drainage patterns including Buffalo Draw and Tenmile Draw, which orient the positioning of various homesteads and livestock facilities. Several generations of local ranching heritage are evident through the naming of properties such as R Hardgrave Ranch, J Hardgrave Ranch, and the clustered T Baker Ranch, D Baker Ranch, and S Baker Ranch. A distinctive local landmark, the Little Ogden Waterhole, serves as a specific point of interest for those studying the water management and historical land use of this arid region. The map reveals the persistence of rural livestock infrastructure in the early 21st century, showing how modern land divisions still reflect older survey lines and natural topographic boundaries.
