About this map

Waters Mtn and the Carter Mountains define the high country of the Lampasas and Burnet county line, where the landscape is marked by limestone ridges and deep drainage ravines. This Central Texas terrain is structured by winding creeks like Donalson Cr and Pitt Creek, which flow toward the southern reservoirs. Family and local history is anchored at the Nix Cem in the northwest and the Pitt Creek Cem near Graveyard Hollow, preserving the names of early hill country settlers.

The map reveals a mix of ranching infrastructure and modern water management, notably the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir. Aviation and transportation are represented by the Yancey Creek Ranch Airport and a network of rural routes including FM 580 and McCreaville Rd. Significant topographic landmarks such as Cedar Top Peak and Goodland Ridge provide clear orientation points within this complex system of draws and branches.
