About this map

The Pedernales River flows across the northern reaches of this Hill Country landscape, defining a corridor of historic Texas ranchlands and political history. This area includes the famous LBJ Ranch and the Johnson Cemetery, alongside the small unincorporated communities of Hye and Albert. The settlement pattern is characterized by large family holdings and established agricultural estates, such as the Wilke Ranch, Schumann Ranch, and Bauer Ranch.

Water management and transportation are central to the region's layout, evidenced by the Johnson Dam and a network of named drainages like Williams Creek and its various forks. Farm-to-market roads, including Farm Rd 1623, connect these sprawling properties, while local landmarks like the Redstone Ranch Airport and Circle Bar Ranch highlight the modern rural infrastructure of Blanco County during this period.
