About this map

Mountain City and the expanding northern reaches of Kyle anchor this 2019 study of the Central Texas landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Blanco River in the south and the intricate drainage networks of Onion Creek and Little Bear Cr further north. These waterways, including the smaller Mustang Br and Plum Cr, have historically dictated the placement of early settlements and transportation routes like FM 967.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Barton Cem near Barton Hill, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Rutherford Ranch Airport. The map documents a transition from rural ranching roots, evidenced by the numerous ranch roads like Elliott Ranch Rd, to suburban developments such as Carpenter Hills. Small water features like Rattlesnake Lake and Barber Falls punctuate the limestone topography characteristic of Hays County.
