About this map

The Llano River winds through the heart of this Kimble County landscape, carving a path through the limestone-dominated terrain of the Edwards Plateau. Near the river's bend, the small community of Yates serves as a central point for the local ranching network, connected by a web of rural routes including Ranch Rd 385 and Farm Rd 3480. The map documents a rugged drainage system where Red Cr and Salty Cr feed into the Llano, illustrating the hydraulic patterns essential to this semi-arid region.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Red Creek Cem north of the river, a quiet marker of the area's early settlement history. The southern portion of the map transitions into more dissected topography, featuring named landmarks like Edwards Draw and the Robinson Ranch Airport, which reflects the modern integration of private aviation into large-scale Texas ranching operations.
