1963 Map of Fort Terrett Ranch

About this map

Fort Terrett Ranch (Historical Site) anchors this mid-century look at the Edwards Plateau, where the cattle-ranching economy of Sutton County is clearly defined by large family holdings. The drainage patterns of the North Llano River and the Dry Llano River dictate the placement of local infrastructure, from the Kingfisher Waterhole to the isolated Landing Strip. The landscape is characterized by prominent landmarks like Fort Terrett Peak, Chimney Bluff, and the Twin Buttes, which serve as natural signposts between the widely spaced headquarters of the Anderson Ranch, Burton Ranch, and Wade Ranch.
