About this map

Junction Windmill and numerous named water-pumping landmarks characterize this stretch of Kerr County, reflecting the deep-seated ranching heritage and the necessity of groundwater management in the Texas Hill Country. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Johnson Fork and Allen Cr, which are fed by various draws and springs including Mudge Draw and West Spring.

The distribution of roads like Old Segovia Rd and Phil Stapp Rd connects isolated holdings through rugged terrain, punctuated by named hollows such as Eli Hollow and Rock House Hollow. Genealogists and local historians can trace specific land features like the Two Dot Windmill and Bee Waterhole Windmill, which often served as critical navigational aids and property markers in this sparsely populated region. Smaller catchments like Roach Lake and Moody Lake provide additional evidence of the area's hydraulic infrastructure.
