About this map

Hillingdon Ranch and Jung Ranch anchor this portion of the Texas Hill Country, reflecting a landscape defined by large landholdings and sprawling ranching operations. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Big Hill and Dunners Mtn, while the No Name Hills rise to the west. The drainage system is intricate, with Block Creek and Polecat Spring Creek carving through the limestone, eventually meeting at Elm Bottom.

Transport through this part of Kendall County relies on a network of named rural routes such as Old No 9 Hwy and Ancient Coast Rd, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and valleys. Small water sources like Reed Spring and seasonal flows like Darmstadt Creek suggest the traditional importance of water access for livestock in this semi-arid environment, where the Rafter Hollow Rausch Ranch represents the continued agricultural legacy of the region.
