About this map

The S Llano River carves a winding path through this portion of Edwards County, defining a landscape of deep draws and limestone breaks. Water sources are the critical landmarks in this arid ranching country, represented by named features like Ray Lake and the Cloudt Waterhole. These locations, along with Cloudt Draw and Mckenzie Draw, illustrate the drainage patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries for generations.

Transportation through this part of the Edwards Plateau is concentrated along a few key corridors, notably Ranch Rd 2995 and the smaller Baker Rd. The map also identifies Broan, a specific local reference point in a region otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open country. This survey captures the essential balance between the river's life-giving water and the high-elevation terrain that surrounds it.
