The Land
Seven restoration sections across the tract along the Lampasas — each held to a care class, from river frontage to upland field. The map atlas below is the working record of the ground.

North is up on every plate. Lines are drawn from our own field plan, not a licensed survey — if one looks wrong, it probably is. Tell us.

Tifton Replanting · Plan 1
Phase 1 of the replanting sequence: the property edge goes native first — windbreak, filter band and river shade — while the interior stays in Tifton 85 forage. Later phases work inward.

FEMA 1% and 0.2% annual-chance flood hazard over the tract, adapted from the Lampasas CAD export of Nov 2025. Informational only — not for insurance determination.

Soils Map
What the ground is made of — five NRCS soil units drawn over the tract from the SSURGO survey. Sunev loam carries the working center, the Seawillow slopes and the Oakalla drainage thread through it, Rumley holds the southern strip and Boerne the river edge.

Riparian Map
The water’s domain — 2,810 ft of Lampasas River frontage, the seasonal feeder that crosses parcel 11122, and the indicative riparian corridor between them. Corridor shading is drawn at one hundred feet — not a delineation.

02 · Eastern Shelterbelt
High ground along the highway; multi-row windbreak of cedar elm and live oak.
03 · Drainage Savanna Corridor
Seasonal drainage kept as open savanna to slow and spread runoff.
04 · Western Headwaters Savanna
The spring source wedge; light woody cover over restored short grasses.
05 · North Inflow Filter Band
Vegetated filter strip catching sheet flow before the river.
06 · Floodplain Agricultural Basin
Bottomland transitioning from Tifton 85 hay to native prairie under PUB.
07 · Western Agricultural Uplands
Upland fields being converted to native forage and pollinator margins.
Care ClassesRiparian & hydrologic (teal), woody & shelter (sage) and agricultural (ochre). The same atlas drives the maps in our manuals and the open GeoJSON under Instruments & Infrastructure.
On the platesBoundaries are managerial, not legal; acreages are as recorded in the plan of record. The flood plate is adapted from the Lampasas CAD web map and is informational only — never use it for an insurance determination.
