2010 Map of Longhorn Cavern

About this map

Backbone Ridge and the corresponding Backbone Valley dominate this landscape in Burnet County, where the topography is defined by the drainage systems of Backbone Creek, Honey Creek, and Peters Creek. This 2010 survey shows the area's transition into the 21st century, balancing its deep-rooted rural character with modern development. The Austin and Northwestern Railroad Historic District cuts through the southeastern portion of the map, providing a tangible link to the regional transportation history that once centered on the small settlements of Fairland, Scobee, and Sudduth. Genealogy researchers can locate the Tobey Cemetery near the junction of Tobyville Cemetery Rd and Fairland Rd, while the northern reaches of the map capture a bend in the Colorado River and the winding course of Park Rd 4.
