About this map

The Pedernales River flows through the northern reaches of this Hill Country landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the storied LBJ Ranch. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of presidential history and Texas ranching culture, with the small community of Hye situated along US Highway 290 and the settlement of Albert further south. The land is marked by an extensive network of named family properties, including Bauer Ranch, Schumann Ranch, and Wilke Ranch, indicating a enduring pattern of private land ownership and agriculture.

Transportation is defined by a web of local routes like Ranch Road 1 and Lower Albert Rd, while the presence of the LBJ Ranch Airport, Redstone Ranch Airport, and Kennedy Ranch Airport suggests the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive holdings. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Johnson Cem near the river, while several forks of Williams Creek and Rocky Creek illustrate the intricate drainage systems that define the local topography.
