About this map

Pedernales River dominates this section of the Texas Hill Country, winding through a landscape defined by significant natural landmarks and ranching infrastructure. The waterway is punctuated by evocative crossing points such as Dead Mans Ford and the named Hammetts Crossing to the east. The presence of Dead Mans Hole and the popular Hamilton Pool suggests a terrain shaped by unique geological features and perennial water sources.

Transport and land use are characterized by a network of ranch roads including Corky Cox Ranch Rd, Stagecoach Ranch Rd, and Wilson Ranch Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural heritage. Small-scale aviation is represented by Keyes Ranch Airport, while water management is evidenced by the Purola Lake Dam. The map also captures the upper reaches of Lake Travis, illustrating how the river system transitions into the larger reservoir network of the region.
