2010 Map of Yates

About this map

The Llano River meanders across this rural section of Kimble County, forming the central geographic spine for the small community of Yates. In the early 2010s, this landscape remained defined by its hydrology and ranching heritage, with a network of seasonal drainages including Salty Creek, Cedar Creek, and Sycamore Creek feeding the river valley. The terrain transitions toward the south into the Blue Mountains, while Edwards Draw marks the elevation changes in the northeast. Genealogists and local historians will find the Red Creek Cemetery located north of the river, a key landmark for tracing family roots in this sparsely populated region. Human infrastructure is limited to widely spaced ranch roads and the Robinson Ranch Airport, illustrating the secluded character of the Texas Hill Country at this time.
