1964 Map of Bee Caves Creek

About this map

The North Fork Guadalupe River and South Fork Guadalupe River dominate this 1964 terrain of Kerr County, Texas. This landscape is defined by its abundant natural water sources and large-scale ranching operations, including the Kerr Wildlife Management Area and historic spreads like Patio Ranch, Wagon Wheel Ranch, and the Mo Ranch. The abundance of named springs, such as Bee Caves Spring, Muskhog Spring, and Lange Spring, suggests a high reliance on groundwater for the local cattle and wildlife management industries. This survey captures a specific network of windmills—such as the Ringtail Windmill, Four Corners Windmill, and Jarman Windmill—which serve as critical landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of water infrastructure across the limestone hills and creek beds.
