1963 Map of Buffalo Well SW

About this map

Family-named ranching properties define this portion of Sutton County in the early 1960s, reflecting a landscape dominated by livestock and energy production. The North Llano River and North Llano Draw provide the primary drainage through the area, where water remains the critical resource for operations like the Halbert Ranch, Les Allison Ranch, and S Allison Ranch. Scattered Gravel Pit locations and numerous Gas Well sites indicate the intersection of traditional land use with the region's mineral industry. Of particular interest to local historians are the human-scale landmarks of the era, such as the remote Landing Field and the Roadside Park located near the Clarkson Ranch. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of central Texas before significant modern development altered these traditional ranching boundaries.
