2016 Map of Contrary Creek

About this map

Contrary Creek and its namesake Contrary Spring define the drainage patterns of this high-elevation plateau region in Kerr County. The landscape is marked by a network of ranching roads and aviation landmarks, most notably the Priour Ranch Airport and Goebel Field, which reflect the logistical nature of managing large landholdings in this part of Texas. Multiple watercourses, including the Little Devils River, Johnson Cr, and Spring Cr, carve through the terrain, leading toward significant depressions like Rough Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern division of land through various private ranch roads such as Morris Ranch Rd and Thomas Ranch Rd NW, showing how transportation in this area remains tied to historical property boundaries and the natural flow of the local creeks.
