About this map

Johnson Creek and its many seasonal tributaries carve through this portion of the Texas Hill Country, defining a landscape of ranching and private aviation. Near the center of the sheet, the Brinkman Ranch/Mountain Home Airport and Tecaboca Camp sit adjacent to Cedar Lake, which is formed by the Cedar Lake Dam. This area shows a pattern of high-country ranching where private airstrips like Cielo Grande Ranch Airport and Dos Arroyos Ranch Airport are as common as traditional landmarks.

Genealogists may find interest in the Sunset Cemetery, located near the Shelton Ranches Reservoir Number 2. The drainage network is complex, featuring named draws such as Rough Hollow, Fessenden Branch, and the split paths of West Dry Branch and Dry Branch. The map records a modern era of land use where large ranch holdings maintain their own infrastructure, from private reservoirs to specialized airfields.
