About this map

Mountain Home and the expansive ranch lands of western Kerr County define this Texas Hill Country landscape during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a rural economy centered on large-scale property holdings and aviation, anchored by the Priour Ranch Airport in the southwest and the Midway Station area to the north. These settlements and ranching outposts are connected by a network of local roads that navigate a complex system of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins.

Hydrological features such as Contrary Creek, which originates near Contrary Spring, and the Little Devils River emphasize the region's relationship with the Guadalupe River watershed. Named landmarks like Rough Hollow and family-identified markers such as New Windmill and East Windmill provide valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of Kerr County's ranching heritage and land use patterns.
