2022 Map of Hext

About this map

Hext sits at the junction of Ranch Rd 1221 and the local road network in northeastern Menard County. This landscape is defined by its numerous watering points, including McDougal Spring, Franklin Spring, and Indian Spring, which have long served as vital resources in this part of Texas. The terrain is a complex series of drainage systems, such as McDougal Draw and Franklin Draw, that carve through the limestone-underlaid hills. Local transportation and land use are centered around ranching and private aviation, evidenced by the Comanche Ridge Ranch Airport located near Comanche Ridge. Family-named roads like Coffey Ln, Garvin Ln, and Hilltop Rd offer clues for genealogists researching the rural residents who managed these vast acreage holdings. Smaller features like Cistern Spring and Muskhog Hollow further illustrate the localized naming of this cattle-country topography.
