About this map

Junction and the small settlement of Cleo anchor this study of the Texas Hill Country, where the modern path of Interstate 10 follows the southern curves of the North Llano River. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with deep incisions from Earwood Draw and Gorman Draw feeding into the winding courses of Bear Cr and Elm Slough. This network of seasonal and perennial water defines the local ranching layout, indicated by the network of local routes like Ranch Rd 2291 and Co Rd 190.

Genealogists will find the Bear Creek Cem positioned north of the river, a quiet landmark amidst the limestone topography. To the southeast, the Kimble County Airport sits on the flat ground near the confluence where the N Llano River meets the main branch of the Llano River. The map captures a transition point where the high plateau gives way to the river valley, evidenced by the descent into Ox Hollow.
