About this map

The North Llano River carves a winding path through this portion of the Texas Edwards Plateau, defining a landscape traditionally organized around expansive ranching properties. At the turn of the 21st century, the area remains characterized by these large family-named holdings, such as Halbert Ranch in the north and the Schwiening Ranch further south. The proximity of several distinct operations including Lea Allison Ranch and G Allison Ranch suggests a legacy of partitioned family lands typical of West Texas heritage.

Transportation through this ranching corridor is anchored by a major highway bisecting the quadrangle from northwest to southeast. The presence of the Allison Ranch Airport near S Allison Ranch highlights the logistical importance of private aviation in managing these sizable rural estates. Smaller properties like Stites Ranch and Clarkson Ranch dot the remaining acreage, connected by a network of secondary roads that follow the natural contours of the river valley.
