About this map

The Kimble Co Kerr Co line bisects this landscape of the Texas Hill Country, characterized by a series of prominent waterholes and drainage basins. Allen Creek and the Johnson Fork carve through the terrain, supporting a network of livestock infrastructure that defines the local economy of the mid-1970s. Numerous named windmills, including the Two Dot Windmill, Bee Waterhole Windmill, and North Windmill, are scattered across the quadrangle, marking essential water sources for the cattle and goat ranching operations of the Edwards Plateau.

Evidence of small-scale aviation and transportation is visible via a Landing Strip and the course of the Segovia Road. To the northeast, the Cem near the confluence of Joy Fork and the Johnson Fork provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of several Gravel Pits suggests localized material extraction, while landforms like the Levels and Rock House Hollow indicate the varied topography of this ranching district.
