About this map

Rust Ranch occupies the center of this remote landscape where the drainages of the Edwards Plateau converge near the boundary of Kimble and Menard counties. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of W Las Moras Cr in the north and the winding course of Bear Cr and its tributaries across the southern half of the sheet. Named springs, such as Gentry Springs, indicate the vital water sources that have supported ranching operations in this part of the Texas Hill Country for generations.

A sparse network of private roads and county lanes, including Dominican Rd and Rust Rd, provides access to the isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The topography is meticulously captured through ten-foot contour intervals, illustrating the draws and ridges that characterize the watershed of the Llano River system. Bannowsky Rd and Ranch Rd 2291 skirt the eastern edges, connecting this working ranch land to the broader region.
