2019 Map of Longhorn Cavern

About this map

Backbone Ridge and the accompanying Backbone Valley dominate this Central Texas landscape north of Marble Falls. This area is defined by its complex karst topography, featuring landmarks such as Sam Bass Arch and the Karst Discovery Trail near the caverns. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations and creek beds, with Scobee, Fairland, and Sudduth situated along the eastern and southern corridors. Extensive trail systems, including the Devil's-Backbone Nature Trail, Pecan Flats Trail, and Woodland Trail, crisscross the parklands, while numerous watercourses like Backbone Cr and Honey Cr drain the limestone terrain. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites such as Toby Cem and Fairland Cem, providing specific spatial context for family history research in Burnet County.
