1963 Map of Fort Terrett Ranch

About this map

The Fort Terrett Ranch (Historical Site) sits near the bend of the North Llano River, marking a location of significant frontier importance in Sutton County. This 1963 survey (with 1980s updates) illustrates a landscape defined by deep draws and limestone bluffs, where reliable water sources like the Kingfisher Waterhole and the Dry Llano River dictated the placement of early ranching outposts. The map reveals the distribution of family-held lands, including the Anderson Ranch, Foster Ranch, and Bundy Ranch, each situated to manage the challenging terrain of the Edwards Plateau.
