2012 Map of Rust Ranch

About this map

Rust Ranch and Spiller Ranch define the settlement pattern of this Kimble County landscape, where large cattle and livestock operations rely on the seasonal water sources of the Texas Hill Country. The drainage network is characterized by the branching arms of W Bear Cr and W Las Moras Cr, which carve through the limestone terrain. The presence of Gentry Springs highlights the importance of reliable water in this semi-arid region, often serving as the nucleus for early ranching homesteads. A sparse network of local roads, including Bannowsky Rd and Williamson Rd, connects these isolated holdings to Ranch Road 2291, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of rural Texas ranching life in the early 21st century.
