2016 Map of Crater Ridge

About this map

Crater Ridge and Buck Ridge define the undulating topography of this Live Oak County landscape, situated between the drainage basins of several intermittent streams. The area's hydrology is characterized by the winding path of Ramirena Cr to the south and Paisano Cr to the northeast, with smaller tributaries like Gilden Cr carving out distinct relief. The land use is primarily rural and ranch-oriented, evidenced by numerous named stock tanks such as Jacobs Tank and Huisache Tank. A network of ranch roads, including Crocker Ranch Rd and Polzin Ranch Rd, provides access across the various hollows, such as Gerhard Hollow and Long Hollow. Highway 281 serves as the primary north-south transit corridor through this section of South Texas, connecting the isolated homesteads and ranching operations that have shaped the county's development.
