2010 Map of Mountain City

About this map

Mountain City and the surrounding Hill Country landscape appear in this 2010 survey, characterized by large ranching estates and meandering riparian corridors. The southern boundary is defined by the winding Blanco River, while the central terrain is drained by several waterways including Onion Creek, Plum Creek, and Mustang Branch. This area is notable for its numerous named properties such as Gregg Ranch, Hoskins Ranch, and Farris Ranch, reflecting a legacy of private land ownership and pastoral development. Landmarks like Flatrock Ford and Barber Falls highlight the natural geology of the creek beds. Aviation and community infrastructure are visible through the Rutherford Ranch Airport and Onion Creek Lodge, while the small settlement of Hays City sits in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the transition of these rural landscapes into more developed residential pockets like Carpenter Hills.
