About this map

The Pedernales River carves a deep path through this portion of Travis County, defining a landscape shaped by water and ranching history. Near the river’s bend, the small community of Hammetts Crossing and the natural landmark at Hamilton Pool serve as focal points for the region. The map highlights the transition between public conservation land at Pedernales Falls State Park and the network of private ranch roads that lattice the surrounding hills.

Evidence of historical transit and early settlement is preserved in labels like Overland Stage Rd and Stagecoach Ranch Rd, while river crossings such as Dead Mans Ford suggest the challenges of navigating this terrain before modern infrastructure. From the Keyes Ranch Airport to the springs at West Cave Spring, the map documents a mix of aviation, agriculture, and natural water features including Dead Mans Hole and Roy Cr.
