1968 Map of Sheep Run Creek

About this map

The Llano River carves a sweeping path through this Central Texas landscape, which sits at the intersection of three counties. Mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey and field-checked in 1968, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Leon Creek and Sheep Run. The topography is marked by significant features like Hogg Bluff and the narrow corridor of Cedar Hollow, illustrating the limestone-carved relief characteristic of the Edwards Plateau. Boundary lines for Menard, Kimble, and Mason counties meet here, reflecting the administrative divisions of this ranching and river country. While largely rural and sparsely settled, signs of industrial utility appear via several Gravel Pits, and transportation is anchored by the James River Road in the southeast corner.
