2012 Map of Payton

About this map

The Blanco River and Little Blanco River dominate this Central Texas landscape, defining a terrain shaped by winding waterways and natural passes. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Payton sits near Boardhouse Springs and the Payton Cem, serving as a focal point for local history and genealogy. The topography is notably marked by geological features such as Stoneledge Pass and The Narrows, where the river corridor constricts through the limestone country. Small private airfields, including Blanco Landing Airport and the Pippen-York Ranch Airport, highlight the modern ranching and recreational utility of the land. Further south, the map details a network of ranch roads and residential clusters like Rusty Acres, situated near Greens Hollow and the drainage of Rocky Cr. The area’s character is defined by this mix of established family ranches and the rugged hydrological network of the Hill Country.
