1964 Map of Wimberley

Ranching heritage is evident through the many family-named holdings scattered throughout the hills, such as the Winn Ranch, Fulton Ranch, and Scutchin Ranch. These private lands are bisected by historic travel routes like Hugo Road and Purgatory Road. The transition from the river bottom near Flight Acres to the higher elevations of Eagle Mountain illustrates the sharp verticality of the Balcones Escarpment, where the land moves between well-watered valleys and the higher, drier divide toward the Hays and Comal County line.
