2010 Map of Hill Ranch

About this map

Hill Ranch and other family-named homesteads characterize this portion of Kimble County, Texas, reflecting the enduring ranching tradition of the Edwards Plateau. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, including the headwaters of Maynard Creek in the northwest and Bois d'Arc Creek flowing through the center. Small private water tanks and modest road networks, such as Nethery Rd, connect widely dispersed ranch houses like Felthouse Ranch and Gerhart Ranch. This 2010 topographic representation shows the area before significant modern fragmentation, where large holdings like Rose Ranch and Cardwell Ranch still shaped the local geography. Significant for genealogists tracing West Texas family history, the map identifies specific properties like Ridenhower Ranch and Nethery Ranch that have often remained in family hands for generations.
