About this map

The Llano River winds through this section of the Texas Hill Country, defining the landscape of central Kimble County. Near a significant bend in the river, the small settlement of Yates serves as a local waypoint, connected by a network of ranch roads including Farm Road 3480 and Ranch Road 1871. This area is characterized by several significant drainages that feed into the Llano system, such as Red Cr, Salty Cr, and Cedar Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Red Creek Cem north of the river near Co Rd-341, a site of local family significance. The presence of the Robinson Ranch Airport in the southeastern corner and family-named routes like Robbins Ranch Rd reflect the enduring legacy of private ranching operations in this region. The terrain is further marked by features like Edwards Draw, illustrating the limestone-driven topography of the Edwards Plateau.
