2012 Map of Hill Ranch

About this map

Hill Ranch and surrounding large livestock holdings characterize this portion of Kimble County, where an established network of private and county roads connects remote family-named operations. The landscape is defined by the drainage of several seasonal waterways, including Salina Cr and Bois d'Arc Cr, which cut through the limestone terrain typical of the Edwards Plateau. The presence of the J R Ranch Airport near Ridenhower Ranch underscores the logistical reliance on private aviation for managing these expansive Texas ranchlands. From the northern bounds at Felthouse Ranch to the southern reach near Shay Ranch, the map reveals a sparsely populated area where cattle and sheep ranching remain the primary land use. Local transit follows routes like Co Rd-122 and Nethery Rd, which link the various homesteads including Gerhart Ranch and Jetton Ranch to the wider region.
