2019 Map of Caradan

About this map

Caradan sits as the central settlement in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Lampasas River. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Huckabee Hill and Lookout Mtn, while the drainage system of Mustang Creek and North Bennett Creek carves through the limestone terrain. This area reflects a long-standing ranching tradition, evidenced by the extensive network of ranch-to-market roads such as Ranch Rd 575 and Ranch Rd 2005. Small-scale water management is visible through numerous named catchments, including Stillwell Lake, Parker Lake, and the series of McCasland Lakes along the eastern border. Near the Hamilton and Mills County line, the Pecan Wells Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark for families of this rural community.
