2010 Map of Payton

About this map

The Blanco River and Little Blanco River dominate this landscape in Blanco County, carving deep through the limestone terrain of the Texas Hill Country. The settlement of Payton sits near the northern edge of the sheet, anchored by the Payton Cemetery and connected by historic routes like Payton Colony Rd. This survey reflects the region's ranching heritage and modern rural development, where large landholdings are accessed by named lanes such as Chicken Dinner Rd and White Springs Ranch Rd. Notable topographic features like The Narrows and The Cove illustrate the river's dramatic course, while the Pippen-York Ranch Airport indicates the integration of private aviation into these expansive ranch properties. The transition from broad valleys at Greens Hollow to more confined terrain at Cistern Hollow highlights the varied relief found between the two primary river systems.
