About this map

Llano River drainage systems define the landscape of this portion of the Texas Hill Country in the early 1960s. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways including Copperas Creek, Middle Copperas Creek, and McKegan Draw, showing a rural landscape organized around large ranching estates. Named properties like Chadwick Ranch, Holland Ranch, and the P-6 Ranch reflect the long-standing livestock economy of the region.

A distinct boundary line for Sutton Co Kimble Co cuts across the western portion of the map, where the elevation is marked by narrow draws and hollows such as Buck Hollow and Deep Hollow. Evidence of local infrastructure is present through a Landing Strip and a Pipeline corridor, alongside several Gravel Pits that suggest localized resource extraction. The density of named ranch headquarters provides a clear record of family landholdings during this era.
