About this map

The S Fork Guadalupe River meanders through the central Hill Country, defining the ranching landscape of western Kerr County. Large landholdings and family estates characterize the area, with the eponymous Diamond S Ranch situated near the river's bend and South Fork Ranch and Whitworth Ranch further west. These properties follow the natural water sources, including Lynx Haven Springs and Green Spring, which provide critical resources in this terrain of draws and bluffs like Bee Bluff.

A network of private roads and county routes, such as Old Headquarters RD SW, connects the isolated ranch houses and seasonal lodges like Lynhaven Lodge. The southeastern corner shows more recent developments around Brewington Creek Ranch Lake and the Reed Ranch. The presence of many named tributaries, such as Honey Cr and Brewington Cr, suggests a watershed that has shaped the boundaries and names of the ranches for generations.
